Angler report Larry Haynes. September 2010
For years I've had the dream of catching a 200+lb Cow, but never dreamed that I would catch a 200+ lber and a 300+ lber
in the same trip!
My wife, son Eric, and I fished with Captain Steve Torres and Crew Freddy and Javier on the Ana Maria
Day 1
Met Capt and crew at the lighthouse at 0600, did the meet and greet thing, got food, fuel, bait and on our way. Hit the
rock, made bait rather quickly and lines in the water just as fast as the bait was coming in.
About 0920, and raining like heck, the first bite was on. Our son Eric was in the driver's seat and it was "game on" for the
next hour on a 200+ pound Blue. After that, things went cold for a couple hours when the next bite was on. The battle
didn't last long, because the hook either pulled, or the fish spit it out. I just know that it had some real shoulders on it. A bit
later we bagged a 75 lb yellow fin and things went quite again....Capt Steve said, the bit will turn back on about 1 p.m., so
we just cooled our heels and trolled around to see what we could pick up. Like clock work, at 1:04 the next bite was
on.....then off.....a bit later....another.....and then off.....then another......Dang it. We then plowed the water for a few hours
when the next bit was on. While fighting this fish, a school of big tuna were jumping all around the boat - it was crazy cool
seeing 50-100lbers jumping all around me, while fighting the first dream fish. 1 hour later, a 200+ lb cow lay on the deck
and I was about 10lbs lighter from sweating.
Day 2
Same as day 1....greatings, bait, fuel and back to the rock. Wife was up first this day....0900-ish she lock's up with a nice
bull doroado. After a decent fight, she bagged the bull and was ready for more. After a lul in the action....Our son reeled
in a really nice Wahoo. A little while later, Capt Steve tells Freddy, who just caught a big skippy, to put it on the
down-rigger at about 100 ft. Approximately 30 minutes after setting the bait at 100 ft, the big one hit - I've never seen a
fish take so much line, so fast. The reel was at the Spectra in a flash. The fight was on....and on.....and on....1 1/2 hours
later, the 300 lber was brought on the boat and I was exhausted.
Day one....200+ lb Blue, 75lb yellow fin, and a 200+ lb Cow
Day two....Bull Dorado, a nice wahoo, and a 300+ lb Cow
