American Angler's office filed this report on the boat's website February 12: "Capt Ray Lopez checked in tonight. Guess what everyone, they have another 300-pounder. Mark Ritchie joined the lifetime achievement club with a 306-pounder. And regular, Bill Salyer (master chili pepper grower) caught his first cow, a beautiful 256-pounder. It was another great day of fishing and the clock is ticking before the guys have to start home."
