Fishpatrick’s albacore tuna are caught aboard the James Lee, a beautiful wooden fishing vessel built in Costa Mesa California in 1969. This is a freezer vessel with a 19 ton hold designed to go out to sea for up to 30 days. James is Patrick’s middle name and Lee is Kristi’s middle name. The name was changed to that immediately upon purchase in September of 2017. See our Ships Log page for the story of how this amazing fishing vessel became ours.
