Bernice and Alle Culbertson and Bill, Gary, Maggie, and Dave Schambach joined us for two days of fishing. They have fished with us before and are a very close family. The first day was challenging, because we had alot of nice fish on but for one reason or another they kept getting away. Broken lines, broken leaders, pulled hooks, you name it, it happened. We even lost a big fish after the rod broke. On the second day all of that changed. Right off the bat we started getting some nice kings and with fish in the fishbox things began looking up. After landing some kings and mackerel, Bernice got a beautiful thirty-eight pound wahoo on the kite! This was her biggest fish and everyone was so excited. We caught an almaco, a dolphin, and a couple cudas and then Alle hooked a big sail. The fish took alot of line and we chased it offshore. Alle did a great job getting the line back and finally we were able to release the fish. Later on we got a nice snapper on the bottom and now had a good variety of fish. Just before heading for home, Maggie hooked a nice fish on the deep line. The fish pulled hard on the bottom and then came to the surface. From the tower I could see it was a cobia, and a big one. Maggie worked the fish closer and Wes placed a perfect gaff shot. The cobia went crazy, but Wes was able to muscle the fish in the boat. Back at the dock the cobia would pull the scale down to sixty-two pounds! Just before taking in the lines, Dave got a nice blackfin tuna on the kite. It was a super ending to a great trip! It was very nice fishing with a family that is so close, as family is the most important thing me. Thanks alot everyone, look forward to seeing you again soon.
