Matt Bowman started off with a bang as our new mate after Tracy flew out yesterday. Bruce and Ellen Meyer of Texas found great fishing going 6 for 7 on lures today. We started off with a 80 pound blue marlin off of the back side of the grounds. We worked our way south and tagged our first spearfish outside of the harbor. Our great day was made even better by catching a triple striped Marlin near the VV buoy. They were all nice sized and put on a great show Matt’s speed paid off when the 3 stripeys ended up at the boat all at once. Once tagged we realized we had gotten a Kona slam. We set out the lures and tagged a second spearfish on the way in and made the double slam possible but the second blue didn’t show up in time.
