June 26 Millie: 



6 slight jerks and hooks were cleared— no chance to set 



hooks 



Strike— hooked up— pulled hook in 25 minutes 



Strike— no hook up 



Strike— hooked up. Hard fight for i hour 50 minutes. 



(Ruperto had hold of leader in 50 minutes but had to 



let go) Hook finally pulled out. Very unlucky day. 



June 27 Don: Only one bait today. 



Strike— Knocked bait apart but did not hook up. 



Caught a second bait at 10:30 



Baited fish— Got light tap, left out 20 minutes and 



finally brought bait in only slightly skinned. In sight 



of Pisagua and sea very rough so headed in early. 



June 28 Millie: 



Strike— Landed 528-pound Albacora 25 minutes 



Baited Albacora with a 2 -day old piece of strip bait 

 (all we had). He followed it for fully 5 minutes on 

 top of the water and finally struck. Had him on for 

 10 minutes until he finally threw the hook, all on top 

 of water. Must have been first cousin to a Marlin. No 

 more bait so put back to port. 



June 29 Don: 



Baited Albacora. He went down— had a strike but very 

 sluggish. It was an 8' blue shark— only one we had 

 trouble with on the entire trip. No more action. 



June 30 Millie: 



Baited Albacora— hooked up. Had leader out of water 



10 times and finally landed 759-pound Albacora. 



4 hours— 35 minutes 

 at 6:50, just at dark. Had very rough ride home.
