Well the Puerto Vallarta fishing season has
officially started. Another great week of fishing but
yesterday was definetly the highlight I told everyone
we would dock the first 300 + cow again this
season and yesterday September 26th was the
day! Captain Steve Torres and crew mate Freddy
Rodriguez did it again docking a 340 lb yellow fin
tuna with client Mark Shwab on the 2006 lurhs! they
headed out to the bank at 7 am the day started a
little slow but you could smell the tuna in the air well
not really but you could see them jumping around.
We reached the banks a little before 9 caught
some live bait and starting trolling did not get a bite
until about noon and hooked a nice 300 + marlin.
Then about 3 pm still trolling with live bait hooked
up with with a 340 lb yellow fin beast took about 3
hours to pull in but look at this cow what a beast!
Now this Pig was still out in the sun and did not get
weighed with an official scale until about 9pm so it
easily lost a few pounds on the way in but never the
less still hit an official 340. Well Mark is coming
again with us this Friday he only needs 50 more
lbs to beat the world record so he's going for it and
why not someone is going to break the record this
year why not him!

Outstanding catch! That is a real "vaca gorda". How long does the fishing last in PV?

the tuna's will normally run strong through December but October is the best time of the year.
