Three years ago during the last days of the MV Derby there were about 100 boats out by Nomans trolling small swimmers for Bonito...My buddies rod goes off and the fight was on...then it felt sort of funny and my buddy calls Bluefish...as he continues the fight we keep thinking we are seeing Bonito colors but NO Bonito fights like this. We finally land the fish and sure enough, it is tunis tunis, a Bonito. We then start laughing as we notice that it must have gone 6 or 7 pounds but only weighed about 4 because the rear third of the fish was missing. The fish was alive and doing the Tuna vibration thing but had been bitten in one bite up to the dorsal fin. Later that day we started seeing four or five six foot sharks following the hooked fish in and if we were not quick enough the hooked Bonito were getting busted by what I later found out was a school of Brown Sharks.
