We had a great time with Captain Pat Cavanaugh and crew. We caught BIG albacore, lots of yellows, and some dorado here and there. Add great weather to the mix and it was a terrific trip! SFR would like to thanks Capt Pat and crew for everything!

For 18 anglers we caught: 112 Albacore, 25 Dorado, 1 Yellowfin Tuna, and 56 Yellowtail

It just can't get any better than this! It got to the point where it was tag you're own fish because every hand on deck was responding to the cries of "gaff in the corner", "gaff on the bow", "gaff up the side" The Captain and crew did an awesome job keeping everything together. They were everywhere! Captain Doug helps Wally "Never Seen a Trout Jump That High" Coleman from Bishop Cal. unhook a nice dorado.

I took a little time away from the camera every once in awhile to get in a cast and it payed off big. This huge dorado was so aggresive it ate a live bait and a jig. Sean Starr and I battle this big fish in together and shared a good laugh when we saw multiple lines coming from its mouth. Man these fish are eating machines.

William came all the way from Arkansas to catch fish and boy did he ever. Nice dorado William.

A couple more cranks Vinny and he's in the bag. One of the nicest dorado of the day

Deckhand Josh with the honors of gaffing Vinny's nice dorado. Good job Vinny. Nice Fish !!!

Dorado are one of the most spectacular gamefish you will ever catch. These things go ballistic when hooked. You should of heard the hoots and hollers as hooked dorado were jumping everywhere around the boat. These things light up like a christmas tree as well. Man dorado are awesome fish. If you have never caught a dorado get on the Renegade immediately, you'll never forget it !!!!!!
