Someone almost went LARGE!
Got my brother to get his 1st tuna. 72" ,1 inch short of a trophy!
Not bad for his 1st tuna.

Wow nice fish. Looks flat calm too. I'd love to try that sometime but I can't take 4 foot seas so I stick to bass. Beautiful. How long that take you to reel in and what kind of tackle were you using?

Thanks Guys.
Paul , We got it on a orange squid bar on a Penn 50 right after sunup. Looked around after for topwater action but lot of fog and couldn't find much to throw at. Headed in late morning as my brother was headed back to VT today.

It was like a mill pond out there today, and Charlie was very elusive.

great fish
Jeff,
I am totally in awe of your accomplishments. That fish puts
you up there with some top tuna men. Your bro has got to
be happiest man in Vermont right now. We will do some
fishing again soon. Great pix, give us some more morsels
to savor, weight, time etc.etc.
