Zacs lost the fish and we didn't celebrate it with a cigar. Christian, RJimmy, and I didn't have a hook up. Bad weather. Those effing fish have ADD because they just couldn't stay in one place. All schoolie tuna. But it was a great experience for me. I wilt ry to charter up next year for tuna and pray that I will land several and keep a giant for home/restaurant to give and eat. Weather was a little crappy.

Thats tuna fishing. They're here one minute gone the next. They are fast and can be very finicky. You gained valuable experience though.

I had a blast, Bill and Jules were great and it was great to meet new people from the site. I never knew tuna came so close to the top. We had some good tries at them and it was cool seeing these fish up close. We also ran into a pod of dolphins, very close and that was an amazing site.
The sea was choppy and it made it more difficult to find them. I didnt realize how much we were bouncing around until we got off the boat and my legs were shaky. I was dizzy until I went to sleep, sort of seasick after I got off the sea?
I will make it a yearly trip to go after these fish and will hook up with Bill and Jules again. The boat was amazing and you were both good hosts.

LOL. You are a funny guy, Joe. I forgot I told you I brought the cigars. I would have stayed and smoked one at the dock with you when we got back in, but I was so beat from that ride home, I was dreading my ride back to the Ocean State. Sorry, man, next time...

Yeah, I had that damn fish on for about ten seconds. I have been replaying it in my mind all night and morning. I don't think I could have done anything differently. Maybe I should have set the hook harder...I don't know. It was still cool to see that fish break clean out of the water to take the pencil popper, to feel the weight on the line, and then to hear christian shreek like a gril

All and all a great trip. Bill & Jules are great people. And they have an awesome boat.

RIJimmy, no dolphin pics? Those things were incredible. At first we thought they were 200lb tuna.

My pics were sad.......I blame the waves. I'll email them but they're really, really bad.
