Fourth of July Weekend (King salmon, tuna, pike)
 

Left work on Wednesday to head up to Lake Ontario for some king salmon fishing. Got out bright and early on the Fourth, and set up for a morning troll. We were getting bites, but having a hard time keeping fish hooked. I managed to land a couple, including one monster king to make the trip.

Turned right around and headed back to NJ, and met my friend in Point Pleasant at 4am on Friday to make a run to the tuna grounds. The bite wasn't hot, and way too many bluefish, but I managed a solid bluefin tuna.

Couldn't let a weekend go by without visiting my toothy friends, so I made a quick trip on Sunday and caught 6 nice pike.

Monster King, beautiful bft and some sweet northerns. I ordered a GPS tracking device to place under your vehicle, should be in later this week! Wasn't going to say anything but thought you'd get suspicious if I started showing up at your spots every time you fished for maybe the next 10 or so years so figured it best just to let you know!

Nice catching, you certainly put in the time and miles in pursuit of the species you target. Great job my friend!
