7/3 tuna

My buddy's first tuna. after 9hrs of downright lousy fishing this baby saved the day.





best part of this fish was it was caught on 5ft long beach boat rod (the cheapo white ones) matched with a 704z that was short on recycled braid with very old 15 - 20lb mono backing.

a Point Jude Po-jee metal, right at the boat, he got to see the fish hit it. I had a quick run on a popper, but it got snapped off in about 5 seconds.
