I was supposed to Be aboard the Sirena but she had some motor issues, so Damon upgraded me to the Cabo. Well as we all know Salt water is hard on boats and the morning of my fishing day the Cabo also had some issues so Once again Damon was on it and Called up the Captain and Crew of the beautiful Cabo yacht Animal House.

Sure enough, around noon we started getting hit trolling live baits and around 12:30 hooked our first tuna. While i was fighting the first fish we doubled up and hooked another about ten minutes in to my fight. We were able to put four 100 plus pound tuna in the boat, and got probably a dozen strikes. reel in a tuna in the 130-150lb range. My wife usually doesn't enjoy long days on the water but she has never had more fun fishing than we had that day.

He and his deckhand were constantly working like crazy to put us on the fish. He even made fresh Ceviche for us to eat on the boat, and prepared a ton of frozen tuna for us to take home.
