After starting with a challenging wake-up around 5:15, we made a quick breakfast and drove to Jordan, our mentor's house. We arrived around 6:15 and had a debrief of what the week ahead would look like. By 7:00 am we headed towards the docks to fish with Jordan on his friend Mike's boat, quickly heading offshore staying in between a depth of 150 to 500 feet. We learned how to fish by slow-pitch jigging, pulling the line up, and letting it flutter down in a similar motion to fly fishing. We caught two king macroll before heading inshore at 11:00. When we arrived inshore, we returned to Jordan's house to create a list for home improvement work.

In total, we worked 8:30 hours today.

We left the house early, and we were out on the water by 8:30, and once again, we practiced trolling until we reached deeper waters. After the first few fishing trips, Jordan emphasized the filming and social media aspects during this trip. We were intentional about getting good shots of Jordan's sponsored items, like filming the jig dropping into the water or getting a photo of the rod bending with a fish on. It was fun to branch out and switch between filming and fishing, and it was nice to see that our clips were good enough for Jordan to post on his business Instagram account. It was a slow day, and ultimately I only caught one small Benita, and Jordan caught a large Blackfin Tuna. When we returned to his house, we cleaned the boat while he cut up some tuna for us to take home. That night we made tuna sashimi and seared tuna sandwiches with the fresh tuna. On Tuesday, Mark was unl...
