Day 3
We hit the bank again lots of bait and smaller tuna's we hooked 3 smaller yellowfin tuna's in the morning all about 30-40 lbs then decided to troll back slow and see if we pick anything up, around 1 pm We had a big Dorado strike Jmark reeled in the big Dorado in about 10 minutes and We headed back. The first 2 days there had not been any qualifing Mahi mahi so we headed back for weigh ins and thought we had won Dorado also but 10 minutes to 6pm We were knocked down by .8 of a kilo so we took 2nd place Dorado 33 lbs and 1st place Marlin 523 lbs;Great Tournament We will definitely be back next year.
