A pretty slow start so far as far as numbers go but we did manage to land this 210 pounder. We see good sign of tuna around and hope they are in a better mood tomorrow. Way to go Raj!

We are definitely getting some chances at a trophy or two. Nice tuna Al Merrick!

Final photo for the voyage features Royal Star and long range veteran Mark Lorman with his late afternoon 200.4 pound yellowfin tuna landed on the 130 pound sardine gear.

Photo today features Royal Star and master long range angler Vladimir Kustudic who made good on one of his several opportunities at big fish, appreciating this well deserved 217 landed on the long soak sardine.

Photo today features another long time Royal Star veteran and friend Mike Shannon and his dearly paid for 227. Nigh two days of roasting and riding out a marathon kite rotaion produced this beauty. Not a bad return on investment in the end.

Photo today is a grab from earlier featuring long time Royal Star friend and angler Bob “Turbo” Ryan. The list of Bob's fishing exploit's is so vast that it would take days to document. I've been there for a slice of it, perhaps even more than a slice

Russ is on a roll!
