| Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
| Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

Marlin and sailfish have taken center stage on the
East Cape this week. Less dorado then previous
weeks and smaller tuna are also providing action.
There are still a few cow tuna in the area for those
lucky enough to be in the right spot at the right
time.
Walter Russo was one of the lucky ones and landed
a 200 pound tuna on Jen Wren III. Fishing about 5
miles off Punta Pescadero we sighted a pod of
bottlenosed dolphin. They were moving very slow
and just milling in the area. Our first pass trolling
marlin lures through them showed huge marks on
our fish finder. I suspected the marks were tuna but
we couldn't get them to go. We changed to cedar
plugs and smaller lures then started chumming live
sardines. Every pass over the dolphin huge marks
appeared in the fish finder at about 20 feet but
there was no surface action. I decided to stop the
boat and pitch out a live mackerel. As the boat slid
to a stop our short teaser rod went off.
Before we could get the other lines cleared the top
shot and more than half a spool of 80 spectra had
been ripped off the Accurate BX2-30 reel Walter
was holding. I was just getting ready to back down
on the fish when the spool finally came to a stop.
The fish stayed out toward the horizon and I was
beginning to wonder if in fact it was a tuna. My
thought was maybe a blue marlin or even that we
had hooked a dolphin. Walter kept the pressure on
but there was no sign of a tail beat. We didn't know
what to think. Finally the fish came to color and we
were all very pleased to see a cow tuna.
Some guys have all the luck. The following day we
fished the bouys off Punta Perico and hung another
tuna about 90 pounds.
