Ruined for Life by tuna

[redlite]

Had the opportunity Friday to go out with Capt. Frank Pitten of Intensity Charters out of Scituate/ Chatham tuna fishing for the first time. I am now ruined for life. Don't know why people say tuna fishin is so hard cause he sure made it look easy. We started at 9 am and I was in the chair fightin my first BFT tuna before I normally even have my mornin coffee at 9:30. Was incredible.
We had 8 come up and we hooked 5 between 50 and 150 lbs. I got to keep the first one (between 50/75 lbs) thinkin we wouldn't get anymore, but then we got the other 4, all tagged and released.
Bass fishin will never seem the same again. To see 200 lb mono dumpin off a reel the size of a truck battery like it does is mind boggling. I checked with him sunday and saturday they hooked 12 out of 17 between 40lbs and 150lbs. Gentleman is mighty good at what he does. If anyone wants more info, drop me a line and I can hook you up with his info/ phone number for Intensity Charters.
