First blue, 2013. Outboard style. 7/12/2013

The Cabo is on the hill getting a freezer plate in the fish box. My good friend Ramesh was kind enough to lend us his 31 Cape Horn "Belissimo" for the day, so we blazed out to the spur last night. Keith (aqua viva) led us to a monster rip, and was slaying the fish when we got there. Unfortunately, all we could manage was one barracuda before it got dark.

Spent the night considering heading to the barn, but Marlana wouldn't let me. I seriously have a new appreciation for the center console guys. Thats tuff fishing when the wind starts blowing.

Couldn't find the rip this morning, so decided to stay around the spur. Hooked this big girl around 1130, and she took Marlana over 3 hours to land on stand up gear and a 50w.

Best fish for her so far. She was wore out, but didn't give up. I am proud!

Great to fish beside some amazing teams today. Aqua Viva , Blue prints to name a few. Special shout-out to Captain Salt on "privateer" for offering us his wire man. Turns out we were able to get her to the boat on our own, but it was nice to know we had back-up if need be. Have some video of her swimming away healthy. Will try to post.
