Johnny went deep this week, to a floater platform somewhere east of Gunnison, not exactly sure of the mileage, but it was a hell of a long ride. One older gentleman fishing near the port corner with a rageldy boat rod with a half a spool of line found a nice 70+ yellowfin, all the rest fishing Avet's, Tiagras, Accurates and Internationals dreged up a few dink blackfins. I got bored with the slow pace, and as my elbow was killing me from jigging two weeks in a row, I tried a deep prospect for a sword, Until Johnny said "roll 'em up". Rode back in a couple of hours and tied up to a platform Where Tom Gregory commenced to put on a topwater school on some big, fat, 30+ pound blackfins. Jigging action was fairly steady as the boat got about 80 - 90 blackfin total, but the fatties were just outside the lights. I couldn't keep up with Tom and get to the edge, damn tendonitis. Good numbers of varied Snapper, some Kings, one nice Scamp, one Yellowmouth, five BIG deepwater Jack Crevalle (where the hell did those come from?) and a Bluefish.

Got Wasabi?
