Any word on the Capt. Tomeny charter this weekend?

Has anyone heard from the Capt. Tomeny charter trip that went out this weekend? I'm curious to see if they jigged up any of those 100+ lb. Amberjack or YFT's.

I heard they were supposed to be back today at around 4:00, I'll be they are still unloading fish!!

Where the heck is a dock cam when you need one!

Just got a call from Bellyup....they did very good on this trip. They ended up at Brutus and Genesis rigs...they did not make it to Green Canyon.
He caught his personal best YFT...somewhere between 130-150 lbs. He lost a bigger one!

Another YFT over 100 lbs. was caught. Total YFT's was somewhere around 20 and around 15-20 AJ's were jigged. The catch was on topwaters for YFT and butterfly type jigs for AJ's. We'll have to get pics and a report from these guys....sounds like they had a great trip.

It looks it is time to fish Gulf of Mexico.

I'm probably booking the week before the 76 hour on the 4th in case people want to go on that as well.

It was great trip indeed. Not only did I catch my first YFT tuna, it was on top water. It was simply awesome. All the people that came were very cool. There were plenty of pics taken. I imagine when everyone recovers they'll post all the pics.

We had a great trip. I met many great fishermen as well. Capt Tomeny was great. First stop took us to a rig loaded with AJs. I hooked up on my first drop and lost my favorite jig in the tug of war with the AJ. I went on to loose several fish and did not manage an AJ. I redeemed myself the first night by landing a nice YFT that likely was 120-130 pounds. Unfortunately, no scale at the Capt Tomeny's. I would say the fish was at least as big as a 118 pounder I caught 2 years ago. This YFT was caught after about 4 or 5 casts with my Stella 20K. Now that is a way to break in a reel. The pics below are of the large YFT.

I lost a large YFT that I could never pull close enough to the boat despite maximum bend on the OTI 50 pound spinning rod. I fought it for about 45minutes and then handed it off as I was beat. I had heavy pressure on that fish from the time it was hooked until it broke free. It was only about 15 yards away when it broke free. This tuna hit an OTI popper. That fish was tough!! I hope he got away uninjured.

The night surface bite was on and there were plenty of flying fish.

2 nice wahoo were caught on the troll. I think they were 40-50 pound class fish.

I must thank Jim for putting together a great trip!!!

The jig fishermen were out in full force. They put me to shame!
