Nice fish Mike! I think Moses was talking about me. We went 0 for 1 on the SEC. Headed for the fishing ledge first based on reports but it was a bust so didin't get to SEC till later am. Started seeing breaking tuna between race and SEC but did not hook any after chasing a little while. Worked our way to SEC and appears that is where we should have been all along. Greatest number of whales I think I have ever seen at one time and swimming very close to boats.

We immediately started hooking large bass 40+ inches, dogfish and also the one tuna. Jeremy only had him on about 3 minutes and then off. Just an awesome morning to be on the water. When I came in, I drop off buddies and picked up family and relatives and hit browns bank for another 7 hours. Great day, tuna or not.

I did it the other way around and caught up to them late morning. talk about it being glass. With that many whales what are the chances they open whaling again
