Yes I have a permit. All the tuna caught were released.
The vertical stripes on the first fish threw me for a loop, I couldn't match it up with any fish on the charts I have.

I agree, 1st fish is a bluefin which have to 27" to keep and the second is a bonito. Both are great fish to catch on light tackle.

Never mind, I didn't see your second post where you said you released all the fish.
It's still a good idea to be able to ID various tuna, in case you ever want to keep one for the grill.

FWIW, for next time. The easiest and most reliable way to tell BFT from YFT or Bigeyes is by the pectoral fins. If the Pec. fin doesn't extend beyond the origin of the second dorsal its a BFT if it does its either a YFT or a bigeye.
