Fat Cat takes pity on us and takes us fishing. We clobber them.

The reports of big numbers were killing us, so I asked Larry and Larry if they had room for John, Clark and I.

They said yes and we were stoked to fish on the biggest, baddest sportfishing boat in Ilwaco, Fat Cat.

We ran 60 + miles NW and found the commercial fleet.

It was dead, so we trolled holes in the ocean for 4 hours and then we began to see some signs of life.

Some jumpers and birds and we slid in and caught a few.

Around 3 it went big and we busted out the jackpole and jackpoled a few and reeled in a bunch and ended the day with 52 fat tuna.

One hell of a day on one hell of a boat with some excellent fishermen.

Thanks Larry and Larry.

What happened to "I will try and take a bunch of photos of this bad ass boat and post up." I only see 2 fish and not much blood. You know what they say, No photo, it didn't happen. :) Come on give me something, today was supposed to be my day to go.

Glad to hear you got into them on Sunday too. You passed us in Brad's Shamrock, of course, but we finally made it out to the fleet as well and did pretty well @ the fleet. Radio'd in to Fat Cat, but kept our distance. Saw Oportunaty prospecting then fall into your drift.as we had to be heading back.for the slow schlogg. Finally hit the dock at 10:30. Only 13, but some nice solid 30 lb hogs.
Man that Fat Cat, Lindell's design, sports some really, really fine lines with a fishing cockpit for carnage.
