I just had a couple questions for you. One is if you dont mind answering, even a pm works, basically what is the rough estimate of cost for a similar trip?

1000 per day. here http://www.tightlinetours.com/

Second is what do the insides of the avets look like? .

With the dry carbon fiber drags in the Avet they definitely need to be brushed off. I am no where near a reel mechanic, I am sending them out for service. The 50 smells a little toasty but still produced the drags its suppose to.

Totally awe inspiring. Damn those fish can pull. You must have amazing sea legs to fight those giant tuna stand-up with the boat going up and down like that. That's some extreme fishing right there. 8-)

I use a piece of 200 lb hollow braid to connect my solid braid to top shot. I take about 12 feet of Jerry Brown hollow insert the 130lb Izorline first string up in about 6 feet, then I take the 130lb solid braid double it back on its self and insert in the hollow about 6 feet, last is sereve both tag ends of the hollow and roll with it. The connection is 100% and smooth as glass going thru the rollers.

Congratulations! That has always been one of my dream trips. Always wanted to catch a 1000 lb bonita. What did ya do with all the meat? Some times they sell high if the fat content is right. Looks like BAIT to me, a freezer full.
