Spinning rod tuna....70''

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reposting this up for my son. Quite an accomplishment for some teenagers. Running the boat, fighting the fish and landing it throughout a night long battle.I'm pretty proud


"Was not going to post this, but decided to any ways. Left barnstable harbor with my buddy Sean, Ben, and Bens little brother tucker at 4pm. Found fish pushing, but they went down. We stuck around for a while expecting a feed. With the outgoing tide we decided to work our way in and find the tuna again. Boy did we find them. A blitz a 1/4 mile long. We pulled into them and sean casts. HOOKED UP! 7pm. me and sean passed the rod back and forth for 6 and a half hours before i finally ended the game with the poon at 130am in 18 FOW off race point, 8 miles or so from where we hooked up. This fish was still making 150 yard runs after 3 hours. We tried everything to kill this fish. We did nothing wrong that I can see, and had the right gear. Fish was landed on a 1800 saragosa, 80 pound daiwa braid with 100 pound leader."
