When I was young tuna fishing with my father around the Dump in the middle of summer we noticed massive amount of blues jumping over our balloons. Concerns for our rigged butterfish start to arise. Trailing the Blues flew a Massive Giant Bluefin I would say around 900lbs. All of a sudden one of our balloons flew in the air and the reel started to sing a tune. Could it be what we think it is? 15 minutes into the fight the fish took flight 12 feet into the air. Turns out it was a 200lb Mako perfectly hooked in the corner of the mouth. DoH!

fish when you can is the way I do it man
