Texas Fish Report

We had a little more wind today then the past couple of days, 15-18 knots and it made for tougher fishing conditions. The sign of tuna was good in the morning however it was pretty reluctant to bite, we had a very good show on the good grade fish up until 1400 hours when it all but it disappeared. Eleven tuna and thirty wahoo for the day, the Yellowfin ranged from 100 to 168 pounds. Billy Casper Jr. caught the 168 using a Mustad 3/0 Hoodlum Ringed hook on a Super Seeker 6470 H rod and Avet two speed reel. The big heart break of the day was a fish right at two-hundred pounds that was one pull from gaff, the mono to fluorocarbon knot broke. The angler on that very tough fish was Carol Thompson who was using a 3/0 Mustad Hoodlum hook as well and the hook never failed, a 3/0 hook is rather small for this big gear but we have not had a problem so far and I'm sure it helped us get bit in this scratchy fishing condition today. We are going to give this another day and hope this tuna starts to respond to what we are offering a little bit better, we will let you know how it works out tomorrow.
