Make a Wish Tuna Challenge
KENDAN
Ken Morris, Daniel Morris, Marty
Morris, Geoff Halpin and I fished the tournament aboard the
KENDAN. We left right after the captain's meeting. Marty had an
extra 100 gallons of diesel so
we could go as far as we needed to. Our plan was to head to the
warm water strip with the
blue water chlorophil band out by the butterfly bank. The
water was rough and it was bumpy
on the way out. We started fishing at 6am, fished til 6pm,
managing 2 skipjack for a 95 mile trip
one way. It was slow all over, with the winner getting a couple
of the very few yellowfin tuna.
There were two marlin released. All for a good cause
