Red Rooster Pictures (with 362# Tuna) for fisherman only!!!
The Red Rooster III docked this morning in San Diego with a load of Tuna some weighing over 300 #'s. Wahoo were plentiful as well. The largest Tuna
caught by Mike Ashford weighed in at 362#'s.

I can see why some don't post here anymore. I'm considering a vacation from here because there's always someone that wants to politicize every
frikin thing. Sorry that some pictures of fish caught by some sportsfisherman on a 15 day trip offends you.
Why don't you post some pictures of gill netters or seiners that in one day take 50 times what this boat took. Get a life.
It's no wonder some think that Nomad is a downer.

Ken: Agree with you 100%.
Why donot those Weakminded, Cry Baby Whining Cowards go somewhere else.
The Seas are full of great Fish, The Sea of Cortez is loaded with lots of Fish and they still try to spread their False BS on the Board.
Someday they might, just might, go to the Sea of Cortez or other places and learn first hand ,instead of depending on some Liar for information that
has no basis of Fact!!
Here I go again. Fighting for Baja!

Bluefin tuna are endangered in most of their range.
But people are responding. Concerned people like our caring Nomad here.
1.They are creating networks of inshore fishing reserves, closed to sport fishing, where presumably the tuna can hide, should they choose to abandon
their natural high seas habitat.
2.Other correct thinking folks are critical of the eastern pacific yellowfin tuna fishery portrayed here. Each one of these yellowfin tuna can never
become a bluefin, thanks to Captain Cates and his evil crew of bloodthirsty tuna slayers.
3.They have invented a mythical fish, the yellowtail tuna.
4. They have created international regulatory bodies to regulate the commercial interests that take tens of thousands of tons of tuna a year. Like the
ICCAT, that regulates the Atlantic bluefin. Since they began regulating the industry 20 years ago, the breeding population has only decreased by 90%.
Well Done!
5. They have invented Tuna Farming. Now, we grow our own tuna! The tuna are captured in the wild, at pre-spawning ages. But these fish don't count
towards legal quotas; after all they have not been "landed" at a plant, just moved into pens. Then they feed them fish and fish products (10 lbs of
netted fish for every lb of growth) until they are ready for the Japanese sushi markets, when they still are not counted towards allowed quotas
because, hey, they were taken from a tuna farm, not the open ocean. Besides, they are not the rare, critically endangered Yellowtail Tuna.

Seriously, yellowfin tuna are not an endangered species.
In the Eastern Pacific, where the San Diego sport fleets operate, the tuna are the least exploited population of tuna in the world. Populations are
still healthy. One reason is that in this part of the yellowfin's range, they have a tendency to associate with dolphin. This has discourages seiners
who hope to keep their "dolphin safe" label. Mexico, on the other hand, has chosen to seine these fish (and dolphin) and force political acceptance of
a bogus "dolphin safe" claim.
No dolphin were hooked, netted or harmed by the passengers of the Red Rooster III. And that's an outstanding catch for a San Diego boat, it doesn't
get any better than that.
But it's part of the territory now- anti fishing crowds that are growing as fast as the consumption of wild ocean fish. There's a contradiction there,
but a threat as well. So learn to play golf.

Thanks for the pictures Ken.
I've always loved to drive down and watch the boats come in and unload. It made me dream of the excitement of the trip and made me yearn to go myself.
It's a time honored event. Like the gathering of townspeople in Nantucket when the whaling ships came in from their voyages.
Heck, when I was a youngster I would get a kick just going to a fish market and seeing them on ice. Sometimes I would even poke them in the eye with
my fingers and watch them rotate in their sockets. It all came from dad, who loved the sea and all in it.
