Rockfish and a Bluefin Encounter

We did not plan on fishing today but with all of the bluefin reports from yesterday, I talked Charles into going into work later today so we could go give it a try this morning. We had plenty of company out there. We pulled bluefin and rockfish stuff and even the rockfish stuff was pulled on heavier tackle. We caught a few nice rockfish and pulled off a few more. We had one bluefin hookup. It ate the trailer bait on a mojo rig. The pressure of the fish screaming away with the 48 oz jig trailing was too much for the leader. We had it on long enough to start clearing all the other lines but did not get the first one in before the leader parted. I heard of about a dozen other encounters like that and one of a 78 inch tuna boated. We were in for lunch. We were fishing between the Ramada and Green Can.
