Did another, tuna/shark trip yesterday 3:30PM - 10:00 PM. Tons of green bonito (only one hooked on a cast tin)
, a decent mako that came unbuttoned, and a big, brown sea turtle that swam right up to the boat while we were bombarding the bonito with tins. Had to pack it in at 10pm just when things were starting to get interesting, because my fishin buddy, Extreme James, had to be up for work (sorry about the filthy 4 letter word) at 5 am, and he has to get his 3 hours sleep.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this here is that when I opened the boat up for the sprint back to the ramp from the inlet, the tach climbed to 5100 rpm. So I suppose that there really is no governor on this motor limiting the rpm's to 5000. Just a myth.
