DP strikes again.

Bud from Scottsdale made one last attempt to keep the boys in it with this nice dorado.

We just needed one more person to step up and seal the victory for the gang from CAli, but who was it going to be.

One more crank !!!!

Bingo !!!!

Calvin you are the man !!! Calvin battled this huge dorado all the way around the boat without letting up for a second. Nice one Calvin

This nice fish earned Calvin team MVP honors and a high five from everyone on board. Way to go Calvin !!!!

The first kelp bed we hit yielded some really nice Dodos! John was the first angler to pull one up.

Here's Joel with a beauty. This fish went crazy once it was hooked! It spent most of its fight leaping out of the water in hopes of ripping Joel's rod out of his hands. Needless to say, Joel won the battle!

Here' Mike with a nice Dodo.

Even I managed to catch a few of these nice fish!

John landed this nice Dodo on the second stop.

Does Mike look familiar? That's because he works on the Velocity out of Stagnaro's Fishing in Santa Cruz, CA. Great job Mikey!

After charging up after lunch, Zippy landed his first Dodo ever. Way to go buddy! Mike Margrave was reminding his pal Zippy to breathe as he chased his fish around the deck. Notice AJ with the Kung-Fu grip! This fish wasn't gonna get away.

First Dorado of the day. Dale ended up with limits of Dorado. Good day for him.

His first Dorado of the day. He's got biggest Dorado on this trip.

Another Dorado on the boat. He's Happy.

Cris's first Dorado.

Capatin Cavanaugh pulled the Pacific Queen slowly up to the paddy and you could see there were some swimmers breezing around this paddy. Edgar worked hard to get the charter, raffle and everything together so we thought we would thank him by giving him the initial cast on the first paddy of the day. Yeah right. Once the Captain gave the all clear we all threw some lively sardines at the nice paddy and hoped for a hookup. The Captain did a good job of explaining the importance of not throwing baits on the paddy before the boat was fully stopped and in position. Anyone throwing early would be sent to the penalty box and be forced to watch the action for 5 minutes with a live sardine in their nose. I'm still picking a few scales out of my right nostril but everyone did a great job of waiting till the all clear signal before throwing out. Edgar showed us all how its done when he hooked and landed the first nice dorado of the day anyway. Chris Switzer was there with the gaff on Edgars' nice dorado

Paul grabbed the liveliest sardine out of the bait tank that he could find and threw it out next to the paddy. This big dorado gobbled it up in a second and a soon Paul was onto his first nice fish of the day.
