Had a great time at the ESMC Tournament this year, the weather (Wind) was a little hard on us but we still caught some nice fish.
Friday started out really nice with light wind we made it to just shy of the Washington Canyon for lines in, we had fished about an hour when we were HOOK UP on a White Marlin it only lasted a couple of minutes before he spit the hook but he gave us a great show coming out of the water a dozen times in that short order. We trolled for another hour before our next hit but this fish did not come out of the water but stayed near the top so we weren't sure what we had but after about 20 minutes we had a nice 61 pound Yellow Fin in the boat then just a little while later we had two fish on that both turned out to be nice 50 + pound Yellow Fin. By this time the wind was up to 20 MPH with the waves building we started trolling for home then just before lines out 3:30 we missed a nice Wahoo at the boat and landed another nice Tuna
At the end of the first day we were in 1st place in the Tuna Division with a 61 pound Tuna
Saturday with a forecast of 15 to 25 Knot winds we decided to stay in the few boats that went out caught a couple fish but they paid for them. Sundays forecast was even worst (20-30 Knots) so we stayed at the dock again the few boats that fished Sunday had a rough morning but the weather got better in the evening and there were a few Marlin and Tuna caught and at the end of the day when the final boat weigh there fish White Bite had won the Tuna division with a 65 pound Tuna
