HERE ARE PICTURES OF SOME OF MY PRIZE CATCHES OVER THE YEARS THAT I CAUGHT IN ALASKA, MEXICO AND ON LONG RANGE FISHING TRIPS OUT OF SAN DIEGO. ALSO THERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF SOME OF THE FISHING ITEMS THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON MY WEBSITE.
ALSO SOME PICTURES OF THE BIG FISH THAT I CAUGHT ON RALPH MIKKELSEN’S 2012 “ BIG FISH SPECIAL” CHARTER ON THE EXCEL. THIS WAS A 17 DAY TRIP FROM APRIL 13TH TO APRIL 30TH, 2012 ON THE EXCEL SPORTFISHING BOAT OUT OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. THIS WAS TRULY A FISHING TRIP OF A LIFETIME WITHOUT ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER. WE TRAVELED OVER 1,000 MILES SOUTH DOWN INTO MEXICAN WATERS AND FISHED THE “HURRICANE BANK” AND CLARION ISLAND. THE FISHING WAS SO GOOD THE CAPTAIN JUSTIN FLECK SAID AFTER 3 OR 4 DAYS OF FISHING, “ANY TUNA UNDER 150 POUNDS WE ARE GOING TO CUT IT OFF AND RELEASE IT BECAUSE THE BOAT IS ALMOST PLUGGED ALREADY AND WE DON’T HAVE MUCH ROOM LEFT FOR ANYMORE FISH”. I RELEASED MORE YELLOWFIN TUNA OVER 100 POUNDS THAT I COULD COUNT, IT WAS RIDICULOUS. WHEN THE TRIP WAS OVER WE CAUGHT 21 YELLOWFIN TUNA OVER 200 POUNDS. WE ALSO CAUGHT OVER 260 WAHOO AND OVER 260 YELLOWFIN TUNA PLUGGING THE BOAT’S FISH HOLD THAT HOLDS OVER 20 TONS OF FISH. WE COULD HAVE PLUGGED THE BOAT 3 TIMES OVER INCLUDING ALL THE FISH WE RELEASED. I PERSONALLY CAUGHT A 220 POUND YELLOWFIN AND ANOTHER 14 TUNA WHERE ABOUT 4 OR 5 OF THEM WERE RIGHT AT 200 POUNDS GIVE OR TAKE 5 POUNDS. I ALSO CAUGHT 10 WAHOO INCLUDING A GIANT ONE THAT WEIGHED ABOUT 70 POUNDS. I ENDED UP WITH APPROXIMATELY 2300 POUNDS OF FISH WHEN IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE. I CLEANED FISH FOR 2 DAYS STRAIGHT, DAY AND NIGHT WITH THE HELP OF 4 OF MY FRIENDS. THE FISHING WAS UNBELIEVABLE, THE SERVICE WAS BETTER THAN EXCELLENT AND THE FOOD WAS GREAT. YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER FISHING TRIP. I CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK ON THIS CHARTER WITH RALPH AND ALL OF MY FRIENDS IN 2014.
