Yesterday we had friends from Florida. It was a nice day. We ran out to the tuna patch and caught 2 nice tuna. Since there were a lot of boats, the tuna didn't want to eat anymore, but we were fine. Then we went to look for a billfish and after about 20 minutes of trolling we had a double and we released it successfully. Not long after, we had a single and it was also released successfully. That's how we finished our day. Our friends were happy with our work. We'll be back there soon.
