I grabbed this post off of another forum, did anybody in here hear or see this. I've never heard of Tuna this size coming this close to shore, especially since it's nearly December.......

Watched 2 boats chase the tuna. I was at Hazards rock from 2 until 3:30. Saw
one boat hook up only to loose at the boat after a 30 min. fight. Tuna at
first glance appeared to be Yellow Fin but a real good look at a nice breach
about 75 yds. from shore proved them to be indeed Blue Fin. The largest
appeared to be a tad over 100lbs. the average seemed to be 50 lbs. Best
sighting was about a dozen at one boil.Lots of fun watching, one of the few
times I was fishing from shore that I was cheering for the boats to hook up.
