Trip Summary

Having fished twice and not been lucky on another boat,Mr Slava booked Billfish for half a day.Being a keen fisherman in Russia his dream was to catch a good size fish just to get the feeling of being in the fighting chair and holding that bent rod.We started to set the lures and quickly found a school of skipjacks where we caught 3 and lost as much.Knowing what was Mr Slava's wish we moved to a place where we thought that the big yellowfin would be following their migration.We had to go a bit far from where we started and luckily found a school of tuna.As we got in the school we had our first strike on the short rigger lure.45 minutes later a 130 lbs tuna was hauled onboard to the great satisfaction of our customer who was very tired from the tough fight.We followed the school and got another strike only to loose the fish after 5 minutes.We had to leave the school and head back because time was running out.We finished our trip with 3 skipjacks,1 yellowfin tuna and a very happy customer
