The crew of the S/F Kaizen is looking for some folks who want to catch fish or just relax on the most beautiful yacht in South Florida. Every employee at Earl Stewart Toyota is welcome as well as their spouses or significant others.

These pictures were taken 3 weeks ago. Shown in the third picture are Chase Daniels, our first mate and a friend of Trent’s named Jade who is a chef on a mega yacht.  

The first picture, above, is the first and only Atlantic Dogtooth Tuna ever caught on the Kaizen. It’s in the Bonita family but is a cold water fish normally found up north. This was one is about 10 pounds, very big for that species, and it was delicious. I followed Captain Trent’s recipe, briefly zapped it in the microwave and made tuna fish salad.

The 2^nd picture is what is left of a Bonita was reeling in after a Bull shark took a bite.

The 3^rd picture is me catching our first sea turtle, a big Loggerhead. She was swimming along minding her own business when one of our hooks we were trolling ballyhoo with snagged the collar of her shell…not hurting her but definitely interrupting her day. :)

The last picture is me holding the release flag Captain Trent had to fabricate having never caught and released a turtle before.

Two firsts for the Kaizen...
a Blue Marlin and a Cobia

Lisa caught and released a Blue Marlin Saturday. This is amazing because there are virtually no more Blue Marlins off the coast of Florida. The only ones being caught are in the Bahamas. There has been only one other caught in Florida in the last year.

Also, on Saturday, Mr. Stewart caught his first Cobia and I believe that was a Kaizen first as well!
