Our friends at the Ocean Reef Club invited us down for a half day. We were scheduled for a three hour trip and with a thirty minute run in and out there wouldn't be much fishing time. John Dudas was fishing here earlier in the week so I called him to get some advice. He gave me some numbers to start at, and we ran right there. As soon as we set out the baits we got a big sailfish and that took the pressure off. Then we got a nice twenty-five pound kingfish on the kite. After we put the king in the boat we got a big blackfin tuna and everyone was very happy. While fighting the tuna we got out deep so after boating our tuna I began to back slowly inshore. Wes left a flatline out and with the bait dragging off the bow something grabbed it and was off to the races. After a tough battle Wes gaffed the thirty-five pound wahoo and we could not believe our luck. Shortly after setting up again we started getting big kingfish one after another. The fish were twenty to thirty plus pounds and we were catching every one that bit. Seven kings that averaged over twenty-five pounds along with a few more sailfish releases and it was time to head back. When we dropped our group off and made the long trip back to Miami, Wes and I agreed that it was some of the best fishing we had seen in a while!
