danny osuna knows me pretty well. #for any fishing trip, it's nice to get a few fish in the box as soon as possible. #we arrived at the islands at 5am and he has jig rods for us. #there were big pargo everywhere. #i had half a dozen vicious bites, but nothing stuck to the jig. #of course, it was then that danny suggested that i take the covers off the hooks......
we settled back into yellowfin mode and saw fish busting everywhere. #big ones. #but no takers. #lunch was pretty much the only thing we scored until late. #
it was not until late that we actually hooked up. #the first hit was jonny bravo! #here's the first half of the fight.
he was doing well but the fish was starting to wear him down. #towards the end, jon got really tired. #this fish taped out at 180 pounds.
by the time rich hooked up, it was pouring. #i couldn't risk video in the rain, so we just have a few photos. #for the last 15 years, rich has been trying to catch a cow. #on the first day of our trip, he got it. #rich, congratulations!
and jonny's fish!
