Man we spent 12 hrs chasing the Tuna East of Minots. fish all over the place and only one hook up, it spooled the reel in 2 seconds! The problem we had was; if we used the heavy gear we had to get close to reach them and they spooked. if we used the light gear they spooled ya! very frustrating to say the least. we were tossing 2 -4 oz metal at them. any one have any ideas on how to hook up one of these awesome fish? also saw a few nice whales out there today never seen so many big fish so close to the harbor. the schoolie blues were as thick as pea soup near Wollaston later in the day a blitz for at least 1/2 mile!!!
