With the weather looking a little nasty and not having radar, we opted to head back to the rips at Monomoy and try for some bass and blues next while the tuna chilled in my locker. We worked a couple of areas and landed a couple nice bass and ended the day catching blue after blue on top water. This bluefish blitz went on for over an hour and we were right there the whole time. Back to the dock by 1pm. First local tackle shop we saw we stopped at since we wanted the tuna weighed. Fish taped out to 52 inches and weighed in at 76.2 lbs gutted. It was filleted immediately when back at the cottage and some belly meat was enjoyed with a couple of cold beers. This led to a few more down Capt Parker's Pub with a nice meal to end the day.
