Since I haven't had much to post other than crafts, here's Jim I. aboard the Independence West Coast Marketing trip from early April.

Yes, it was delicious 

Nice catch!  Where's yours?    Thanks for the teaser Sean.

Man I'm sure that was a load of fun reeling in that fish.

I think the closest I'll get to tuna in the near future is the one I carved on the Kage I made, either that or some mackerel

 This will be no surprise to Hojo and the other guys on here that have done tuna trips, but checking out Jim's rod and reel setups it was apparent that long range fishing is a whole other ballgame from what I consider "normal" fishing.
 Line from 80-180# test, reels holding 400-500yards of line, 300# test cable leaders on wahoo jigs that bigger than most rock fish...

Go Jim!!!   he looks different.
