T-t-t-t-t-tunaaaaaaahhhh
Had a blast today on 17-20+ schoolie bluefin tuna with Capt Eric Thomas (also a fellow co-worker in his real job  ). Not a charter, just we kept talking about going after them and finally went...
I got 4 or 5 and same for Eric, all 17-20+ pounds and all on topwater  ...
Now I started off with a plastic pencil and nailed a nice one and more then started trying some bass lures for grins and giggles. So I wanted to see if some sponsors wooden bass lures would catch. Pics will go up later.
I got 2 on an Afterhours Squid (had 1 come unglued on a AH Spookster and then caught tow bluefish at the same time on the one plug  )
1 on a #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& Big Bart
Had a few whacks on a Bernzy needle - but really wish I had not left my
Surf Howdys at home - they would have cleaned up  .
It was a blast today.... If anyone is thinking charter for these footballs real soon, check out Eric at http://fishteezer.com/ and give him a look. He is also a member here and has been for over a year...
Awesome time, sushi tonight |

Fresh , never been frozen tuna , on the grill , is the best eating fish in the world.
Sounds like a great trip John. Is it true that when you hook a tuna it justs rolls on its side and floats to the top so you can reel it in???  |

Great time! Glad Clammer got his first! 
I lost one after a 15 minute fight. Fish sounded than swam staight up faster than I could reel... Smart Bassturd....
They were fewer today, less schools, much fog so long distance sighting was out... |

What time of day, today, john?
I think I am going tomorrow morn, but it seems like something is triggering them to really start turning on the feedbag, either hieght of the sun, or tide, or something. The other day, I left, and thirty mins. later they were everywhere. Luckily my friends shared the wealth and I still had a tuna lunch the next day.
