This beautiful Salmon 27.4 pound King Salmon was caught aboard the Chubasco at Randy?s Fishing Trips in Monterey, CA.

Kimberly caught her first salmon on this trip.

I am sending the picture of the 34lb 1 oz Salmon that was caught by Vera Bolderoff aboard the Sur Randy on 6/13/02. Vera was here visiting her family from Australia. Her family chartered the boat. There were only 7 of them and they wanted the boat to themselves. They Had a terrific Day! She was funny- Billy(skipper) said she reeled the fish in herself, but when we wanted to have her hold the fish to take pix she did not want to touch (ewww - LOL) the fish so we put a plastic bag under it for her. We all laughed.

This whopper was caught out of half moon bay.

Frances Nisikawa of Gardena is Happy to have caught this 30 pound King Salmon. The fish put up quite a struggle as She fought for 20 minutes to finally land this Prize Catch and received assistance from Stan Chonacki to hold her fish for the photo. Frances and her Husband, Joe are frequent patrons during the Salmon Season and have had a challenging time. The continuous Efforts have paid off today with limits of Great Quality Salmon

Matt Dargen pictured here with his father Bill Dargen from Torrance, CA caught this nice King Salmon using a dead anchovey! This was Matt?s first ever King Salmon. Congratulations little buddy!

Carol Jones was our gracious hostess. She is the owner of the Kahuna and Toms Sportfishing and quite an angler, too! Thank you Carol for all your help in setting up this trip. We all had a great time. We departed at 6 AM promptly. Our first stop was right outside the harbor. The weather was nice. The storm early in the week had passed by and we had a nice sunny day. There was a slight bump and a few people including yours truly got seasick.

I guess that it was inevitable that we would run into one of those GIANT FANS! Congratulations on a great start to the season!

The Pebble Beach coastline is quite impressive from the Pacific. We moved to Pinos Point area where we heard that some fish were being caught.

Derek Evans met his father, Dennis Evans, at Moss Landing to celebrate his 30th birthday fishing for Kings! Today the fishing gods where on Dereks side! Congratulations and Happy 30th Birthday. Oh yeah, Derek also won the Jackpot with this King!

Angler Tony Torres was very lucky to catch this nice King Salmon. He was so pleased he decided to kiss his fish! Deckhand Curtis looks on in amazement!

The bite at Pinos Point produced 3 King Salmon to 19 pounds. The ride back to Moss Landing was quite impressive. Even in 10 to 12 foot swells we traveled between 20 and 23 knots! The Kahuna is a nice fast and clean boat! The entire boat is immaculate! Captain Scott and Deckhand Curtis both did a great job. Thanks alot! I hope to see you again soon with another story from the Kahuna.

Monterey, CA - today we fished on the Sur Randy out of Randys Fishing Trips in Monterey! The conditions werent right to fish for Halibut so we went straight after the Salmon. Since the bite had been over in Santa Cruz for the past few days we made the trip across the bay to the Soquel Hole. There were tons of boats. The deckhand Josh said that it looked like opening day. Well the bite had been good for the past few days but the pressure was maximum. I was fortunate to hook up into a King Salmon early in the morning. Here it is coming in!

Angler Dennis Evans proudly displays a "Jackpot winning" 18 pound King Salmon! Congratulations Dennis on a nice fish. Catching King Salmon is fun. They do not give up easy! Dennis caught this Salmon mooching with a dead anchovy in about 180 feet of water.

Thank the GODS! I finally caught and landed MY FIRST KING SALMON! Last year I had the sea lion eat my King Salmon as I was reeling it in! Whew! I am happy! Thank you Chrissy and Randys Fishing Trips! I hope to return sometime to maybe go rockfishing once the season opens!

FISH COUNT - 8 anglers caught a total of 5 King Salmon. The fish ranged in size from 10 to 18 pounds.
