The Right Reel for the Job.

Fishing in the last ten to fifteen years has evolved by leaps and bounds from where it once was with big reels and monofilament line that was the go to set up. Todays tackle with the adoption of braided lines has taken what we perceived as a necessary outfit and made them obsolete.

2017 Los Cabo Tuna Tournament: Came to Play

That smile tells it all. Nothing like getting the monkey off your back right out of the gates. It was the second and last day of the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot. I had stopped Vaquera on the outer Gorda Bank to make our second drift chunking Humbolt squid. Making my way to the bow I pitched out a chunk Diego had pinned on for me. Away went the squid along with my 100 lb test Momoi Hi-Catch top shot into the...

Looking back at Tuna Carnage on the FV Maximus. A Trip for the Ages.

This was our 6th or so trip on the boat and we had seen good...

Hunting Wahoo in the Southern California Bight.

Rob and Dallas with their payoff after five weekends and 110 miles of trolling. The 2015 saltwater fishing season brought southern California an abundance of exotics never seen in local waters.

Marlin being released with a Billfish Tag Recently we put out a poll regarding how many people practice some type of catch and release ethics. The poll was created to start a dialogue with anglers to see what views they have towards self replenishment of the stocks (Catch and Release). We received some interesting replies, but the main focus was to get some type of response, which we did. We saw that the following percentages applied to a mid range sampling...
