Canyon Runner Big-Eye Report - 10/12 - 170# in Toms Canyon

["Canyon Runner"]

Capt. Mark DeCabia had the Manny, Greg, and Joe Morea charter for an overnigther on the 48 Canyon Runner and had a 6 flag day. Arriving at the Toms in the dark they went right to the hook and had constant action all night. They boated a 50 pound yellowfin, went 4 for 5 on swords pulling the hook on a decent one and releasing 4 small ones, caught some mahi and released 4 blue sharks. Up on the troll in the morning they quickly put a longfin in the boat. Two hours of nothing ended when something grabed the shot gone ballyhoo and dumped 500 yards of mono and spectra. 40 minutes later they darted a 170 big-eye that was hooked right in the tail and fought like no big-eye had in the past. They added 2 more longfin, more mahi, and tried for tiles only to catch a few ling.

I'll have pictures of this big-eye up on our site tonight and post here later but I wanted to get this report up to let everyone know that there are still someone this fish around as well as the longfin.
