MULTIPLE 6-8 POUND BONES & 5 GTS LANDED BY 1 ANGLER

The start of the fishing week at Cosmoledo Atoll had everyone hoping that the red crab had been blown far away from the previous week’s strong winds. This week we had 12 anglers from varying states in the United States of America. Some were new to the atoll, and others had seen the surprises it held for them.

Again the wind and rain plagued us all week, making for extremely tough fishing  conditions. The good news was the crabs were gone, and fish were showing up at regular intervals, each angler having multiple shots each day.

Brian Iannacchione made use of every single one of his shots and was definitely the angler of the week with multiple six to eight pound bones and the largest tally of giant trevallies for the week. Brian was very unlucky on one occasion when he hooked a giant of a fish, and after doing everything right, the fish went through the leader and got away. Not to slow him down, he pushed through and landed five giant trevallies that day.

Trigger fishing for the week was excellent, and Jeff Currier landed two lovely Moustache triggers and Jaron Simon a massive 59 cm moustache.

Randy Lee had a good number of giant trevellies and managed to land both the yellow margin and moustache trigger.

Despite the challenging weather, the fish and the anglers brought a game and landed some magical fish.
