I have seen some big blow ups at night recently as well. The day I caught my 44 I saw a pair of fins come up behind my fish, defiantly a shark. also had a buddy of mine who hooked into something he couldn't stop drifting whole bunker a few weeks back. He said the same thing "there were some big blow up's just before" I say Tuna, but it being the canal you just never know. last year I got a crap load of emails from people seeing sharks swimming up in the rocks at the canal at night during this time of the year.

Damn it I hate this thread. I said they were tuna or porpoise!!! Sharks are elsewhere.

If you can see the fins than they most likely are sharks not tuna. When tuna are swimming the top fin is laid down and the fin on a tuna is not at all similar to a porpoise nor a shark. I would bet that it was a shark. If it was just a huge explosion could be tuna but generally bluefins eat during the day.
