We fished a couple days before that day and had bait balls and cutters all to ourselves on the 960 line right at the 100f. Even had a huge sperm whale come up through the bait balls.
It's an unreal scene when it happens. What the video doesn't show is when you go by the bait balls and look down you don't only see the 2 or 3 fish cutting on top, you see 8 or 10 more under them.
The WMO is 3 weeks early because the fishing is always best between Aug 20 and Oct 1.
