世界中のラッキークラフトファンの皆さま～！Daily Flash Minnow Weekly Reportになります！
パート1の続きになります！その後、2時間ほどでケルプストップを繰り返し釣果の無いまま・・タタミ8畳ほどの大きめのケルプを発見！！少しずつとケルプとの距離が近づき、我先にルアーをキャスト！！小型のイエローテール・ドラドといった回遊魚が盛んに船近辺を回遊し、ルアーを追って来るがなかなか喰いつかない!! 通常、ただ巻きでルアーを引くのが基本であるが、あまりにも見切られるので最近ヒラメでも良く使う作戦、『ストップ・ゴー』リトリーブ変更！ 変化をつけたことで、2投目のキャストでやっと自分のルアー！FM190SRに小型のイエローテールがヒットするが、小型だったのでリリースしてしまいました。残念ながら、写真が取れませんでしたが、ビデオ撮影に成功していますので後日、更新いたします。
時は流れ、2時間ほどケルプも発見できず、呆然と時間が過ぎる・・・しかし、そこに現れたのはイルカの大群！！ マグロ釣りではイルカは、最高の魚探なのだ！！イルカの進行方向先に、ボートスピード落とし始めたと同時に、ベイトを流し込むと・・・ガッツーン！！大きな当たりがあり！約10分ぐらいの格闘の末、黒マグロ（ブルーフィンツナ）とはいきませんでしたが、初のキハダマグロ（イエローフィンツナ）をゲット！！ 初マグロという事で、儀式があるらしく、その場でマグロの心臓を頂きました。これで、自分もマグロハンターに入門です。味については、生レバーに似た味わい深いお味でした。
Ｐ.Ｓ.
釣行途中、奇跡的にも虹色の雲を発見！！ その後にマグロゲットです。
また、今回の釣行の模様も撮影をしていますので、近日公開いたします！！お楽しみに！！

This will be a continuation report from last week! So after continuing to make kelp stops for 2 hours, there were no catches… We then found a pretty big kelp bed and slowly approached the area – I rushed to be the first one to cast!! There were many migratory fishes such as Yellowtail and Dorado all around the boat and I see them going after my lure but they just wouldn’t bite!! Usually I would retrieve my lure normally, but since the fishes seem to know better, I decided to try the technique I quite often use lately when Halibut fishing. The “Stop & go” retrieving technique! After changing my method, on my 2nd cast I finally got a bite with the FM190SR – it was a small Yellowtail, but since it was small I decided to release it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take a picture of it, but we did catch it on camera and I will be posting that up in the near future!
Another 2 hours passed without finding a single kelp… But all of a sudden we found a group of dolphins!! Dolphins are actually great fish finders in tuna fishing!! We headed towards the direction the dolphins were going and the boat speed was reduced. Along with that we threw in our baits and… bam! I felt a big one and battled with it for about 10min! Unfortunately it wasn’t a Bluefin Tuna, but I did catch my very first Yellowfin Tuna!! Since it was my first time catching a Tuna, there was a small ritual where I received its heart at the spot. Now I have become an official Tuna hunter. As for the taste of it, it was quite flavorful and tasted similar to raw lever.
P.S.
While fishing, I miraculously found a rainbow colored cloud!! And right after that I caught the Tuna! We have filmed this fishing trip as well and will be posting it up soon, so please stay tuned!!
