He was joined by friends Captain David Barrantes (of the Adventurer), Toni Bustos, Danny Jiron, and Bryan Gomez.
They had a great catch of Red Groupers and Congrio.
Also, they had a Blue Marlin crash the left teaser three times but it wouldn’t take the pitch bait. About 15 minutes later a Blue Marlin attacked the right long teaser and after a few jumps rushed the boat and bit the hook in half.
