Skipjacks Early, Wahoo on Lures

We started at 7a.m. Not far out we found schools of skipjacks. We had some good fight. While fighting one of them a massive marlin came at the back of the boat trying to eat the 30 pounds skipjack we had on the line. We immediately took the skipjack out of the water to prepare as bait but the marlin was already gone....We started deploying the teasers....to attrack a big mama.... and bang the 130 reel started singing....a fish was on. It was a good 50pounds albacor tuna. After catching this fish we put the lines back and then bang again a massive strike on the long rigger line. The reel started singing while a 400 pounds marlin was dan8cing at the back. After 45 mins of the ....at just 50 meters from the boat the hook came off. We came back with some skipjacks and an alcbacor tuna

The morning part was slow. Skipjacks were around but not bitting well. Later on they started bitting. We caught 4 big ones around 30 pounds each on the 50 pounds rod.

We started at 6.30 a.m. Not long after being out we spotted a school of skipjacks. We hooked 4 at the same time. We successfully caught 2 and immediately used them as live bait. After using the Katalina technique for a while no chance...one of the skipjack was attacked by a massive wahoo leaving just the head. We decided to put back the artificial lures. It was rainning and windy. We spotted another school of Skipjacks. As we entered the school 5 lines screaming at the same time. We caught 4 and were ready to go again in the school. while crisscrossing in the school we noted the presence of a big fish in the spread. First attact on the short rigger line...the fish came a second time on that same lure then swap to the central rigger on second bite the hook was set and the line started going out at a crazy speed. Etan and Luciano cleared the spread immediately by bringing the lines in. Fabian was already in the fighting chair ready for the fight. Capt Antonio reduced the speed gradually and the fight was on. 20 mins later the fish was in the wake still fighting hard. We slowly managed to bring the fish on the side. Few minutes later the marlin was in. Fabian's first try and the dreamed fish was caught.
