5 MARLIN AND 3 TUNA!! I took my son fishing on the 31' Redrum and our crew of captain Omar and deck hand Victor did not disappoint. We researched and researched and Redrum kept coming up with best recommendations. They've been around a long time. Watch their YouTubes to learn more about them. We paid a little more to go with this outfit, but in the end it was the best choice. My son's dream has been to catch a marlin. I, on the other hand, couldn't care one bit, I just wanted him to catch his fish. We live in Oregon and he fishes and hunts a lot. We told Omar we wanted striped marlin and he hightailed up the coast. We were passing a lot of boats along the way and not one boat passed us. We ended up near a few other boats and Victor got the lines out. It was interesting to watch and seemed very complicated, but my son knew what they were doing and he was impressed. Right off the bat, my son got a marlin on and within seconds another one was on. I never even intended to reel in a huge fish, but I did! It was a lot of work because as soon as my fish got close to the boat, it ran out the line and I had to do it all over again and it was jumping all over the place. Such an adrenaline rush! So, we had 2 marlin, both measuring 93". Then, we asked Omar to get us in the tuna and we landed 3 yellowfin. Somewhere along the way we lost a dorado. Then the tuna dried up and we moved on to fish for something else, Mahi Mahi or dorado, we didn't care, we were just pumped! Well, another marlin got on and my son reeled it in, this time 94" then we did another double, and my son and I were both reeling in giant fish at the same time. We didn't measure this time because everyone was exhausted and they looked to be similar size, but I bet they were over 100" because that's the way fish stories are supposed to go. We had an epic day of fishing and we thought Victor was the best deck hand ever and Omar got us right to the fish. So, I recommend requesting them if you can. My son called it "the double double with a tuna twist" trip. PS, they recommended a restaurant to cook up our catch and it was beyond delicious. Best sushi in my life. read more
