Cabo San Lucas - Saltwater Fishing Report

These impressive photos show a HUGE tuna caught yesterday by a group of Candians, at Gordo Banks. Cabo John, Mike Nelson & Ken Bond took four hours & 35 minutes to reel in this cow on 80 lb test, using a Penn International 30 SW, standing up and taking turns at the fish. The hook up occurrred at 8.20 am. First picture shows the thrilled but exhausted group from left to right Ken Bond from Calgary, John Penny from Toronto & part time Cabo Resident & Mike Nelson from Texas,...John told us "It was the most exciting fight ever". The second photo shows the girth of the fish on the fillet table and the third picture is perhaps the most unusual, of a close up of the monster tuna's throat. It is interesting to note that the fish was caught from a super panga, showing that you don't need a big boat to catch a big fish. This is very encouraging for participants of the WON Tuna Tournament coming up next week......they are out there.
