On Monday, August 2 Capt. Joe Miele jumped on board for the boats 4th overnighter in a row and with Capt. Mike Zajac and Capt. Hook still running strong they left for the Toms Canyon at 7pm getting to the edge in the dark. The night bite only saw a bunch of mahis caught at first light and nothing else. Up on the troll they quickly boated 2 nice yellowfin and at 7am had a nice billfish crush our new Canyon Runner 14†lure and the fight was on. 1 hour later another blue marlin was laying alongside the boat – this one about 375 pounds. That makes it 6 blue marlin for the year and 4th alone on the 60’ Ritchie Howell. |
