Trip Summary
When the sun is hot, but the "fish tales" are hotter.
There are days when the Pacific feels like a blue desert. With the heat hitting hard and a pace of fishing that tested the patience of the entire fleet, the overall results were, to say the least, scarce. But in Mathis, the score always ends in our favor. ☀️
Although the Roosterfish decided to stay in the depth today, the action did not stop. We managed to do the task with a Needlefish and a Jack Crevalle that kept us moving. But the real star of the day was our good friend and client, who claims to have fought an epic battle with a Giant Curvine.
The only detail? The camera was not fast enough to capture the evidence. As we know well in this craft: “The stain of the photo is removed, but the greatness of the fish in memory is forever.” We were left with the satisfaction of having earned the pulse of a difficult day and with a great story to tell at the dock.
