doug witham slammer trip 13 tuna/4 swords/white marlin

capt's kevin gerrity and dave bender took doug witham of montvale,nj , son dustin of st. louis, bob and mike of canton,oh and chris of philly on an overnighter sept 6th, 2013. within 15 minutes of putting out our trolling spread we came tight on 5 longfins and boated all 5 . we worked the area for the next three hours and wound up catching a total of 8 longfins and a huge white marlin which was released unharmed. we did not have a touch for the next four hours, but as we were about to set up for the night a rod went off and we boated another longfin. we had action most of the night catching four swordfish to 100lbs keeping three. at 3am i was talking with doug and he told me perhaps he was getting too old for the canyon fishing, perhaps he should just come along and supervise, well at 4am a tuna rod goes off and it's just us in the pit. doug proceeds to angle a very large yellowfin and after a good battle, a beautiful sickle fin 75lb yellowfin is on the deck. i told doug, i guess you can still fish out here. shortly thereafter we had another bite on the bait and i dropped down a shimano butterfly jig and came tight on another quality yellowfin. the action was short lived but it was awesome to see a chunk bite with quality fish. we trolled saturday morning in slow conditons and finally just before leaving we got a whistle fish..another longfin. we left with 10 longfins, 3 large yellowfins, 3 swordfish, and a white marlin release. without a doubt a fantastic trip with good people.
