Got my brother to get his 1st tuna. 72" ,1 inch short of a trophy!

Not bad for his 1st tuna.

Wow nice fish. Looks flat calm too. I'd love to try that sometime but I can't take 4 foot seas so I stick to bass. Beautiful. How long that take you to reel in and what kind of tackle were you using?

way to go jeff. nice one

Thanks Guys.

Paul , We got it on a orange squid bar on a Penn 50 right after sunup. Looked around after for topwater action but lot of fog and couldn't find much to throw at. Headed in late morning as my brother was headed back to VT today.

Awesome!

It was like a mill pond out there today, and Charlie was very elusive.
