Just wondering how everyone did this year out in the canyons. The boat is high and dry and put away for the winter and now I'm kind of bored. Now it's time to tell the fish stories and book some fishing trips around the world. Better yet bring the boat down south for the winter and put together some trips, I'm sure I could get some guys together from this discussion board.
How was everyone's year this year.

oh, besides the fact that it was the worst weather season in about 15-20 years, it was good!
Actually had a couple of good trips this year. Biggest catch was a 187 Yellowfin July 1 in the Hudson.
Other than that mosty trips were good with a mess of longfin and yellowfin. I think our worst trip was 6 fish.
Also hooked up with 2 Blue Marlin this year with early releases!
Tuna season was rather odd - another year where the longfin blitz never cam in July. Then throughout the summer had a mix of small yellows and bigger than usual longfin. Is it me or are the longfin keep getting bigger? Never had the 50-60 pound yellow blitz we used to get and really didn't get that quality chunk yellows in the 100# like last year. It was more of a smattering of 40-60 yellows, longfin and a few 100# yellowfin. Big eyes were a little slower earlier and had a good presence in Sept- Oct if you could get out. Only thing is a lot of people out there think they have eye balls when they are bluefin - what our club calls those blue eyes. It's amazing that some people go out there and can't classify a tuna correctly. And it's not that hard.
Except for the weather that cut my trips in half from usual it was a good year. But then again even if we did twice as many trips, we still want more.
