Chris said he had a couple shorts and one other keeper he released.
Brielle, Captain Jerry aboard the
Fish Monger has been mixing it up. The Fish Monger seems to always be in the right place at the right time. Captain Jerry continues to find Bonito, false albacore, skip jacks and their cousins the Spanish mackerel on the Fish Monger light tackle trips.
The crew was also able to chunk a few yellow fin tuna in the slick and box four for dinner and a nice 40lb blue fin tuna in the mix. Talk about your reel screaming, if you never battled a tuna before then you have no idea how powerful a fish can be.
