Todd Lohry South Padre Island, Texas Reported: 1 week ago

First week of aug. fishing the shrimpboats were dragging in 50 fathom. Too many bonita to get a bite from a blackfin tuna so we pulled the hooks off the lures. Everything was working great. Wait for the blackfin, stop throw bait. Started trolling again theres the bonita then the blackfin then out of nowhere 3 of the biggest Yellowfin tuna came up and pushed everything out of the way. I ran downstairs and grabbed the biggest reel and bait we had. Instant hook up. 4 hours later in the boat. 215 pound yellowfin tuna.

On days off we still fish!! We went down the beach with family and friends on Saturday in hopes of seeing a big tiger and we did just that! When the rod slacked up and started to slow roll I immediately turned to one of my clients who happened to be in town on a job and was hanging out with us! Him and his crew have been on many trips with me but they’ve been plagued by blacktips and bulls so this was the fish he’s been after! Kevin did a great job fighting this fish from the harness from start to finish and made quick work of her! Once on the beach we were able to get a quick measurement and taped her out at 12’2”, an absolute beast of a tiger!!

This massive Hammerhead Shark was caught 20 miles Offshore out of Galveston. The pure rush of reeling in one of these monsters is no joke.

Jerry was on time and ready to go. He asked what we wanted to accomplish on the trip, was friendly, funny, and very professional. We caught a limit in two and half hours with the largest red fish 29 1/2 inches. This guy knows what he is doing and does it well.

Outstanding trip. Excellent equipment and knowledge of the area. We took the airboat and I loved it. Lots of guides out there popping up in the Rockport area....but you can't beat someone who has been at it for 30+ years.
