Mark and his son Mike are in town to fish for ahi. We got an early start and headed south looking for the south porpoise school. We weren’t out long before we found a small pod right in front the harbor. There were a few fish in there but not enough to keep us interested so we headed farther south looking for a bigger pile. About mid day we found a big pile that had some fish showing on the sounder. We went right to the greenstick but had to really work the pile before we got one to bit. 
Mark was up first and did an awesome job fighting this 107 1/2lb ahi to the boat. Tomorrow his son Mike is in the chair to try for an even bigger one! More tomorrow!
Jim jumps aboard and swears he isn’t going to pay unless we catch something! After all the jokes we shove off to try our luck. I didn’t run too far because we only had 4 hours to fish. About 45 minutes into it on the 500 fathom line I saw a boil on the long rigger and the fish disappear in a ball of white water. Then it pops up on the stinger lure and after a flurry of tries takes the lure and starts a series of big jumps away from the boat. 14 year old Jonathon jumps in the chair and after a 20 minute fight lands his first blue marlin weighing 161lbs! Although we did catch a fish today, I guess you could say Jim still hasn’t caught one and is still technically skunked!
