Another rat...it's been a week!

Plenty of small fish but on big tackle it is not much sport. I have been using a small 18" splash bar (that has a playaction bird) on a Terez rod with a Accurate Boss 500 reel, 60# HC braid with a 100' mono leader. It rolls nice and has little drag when fighting a fish.


I have been enjoying tuna ceviche

Yeah, we got one Sat, popped the outrigger but couldn't pull drag on the50. Sub-legal 26" released to grow bigger.

Curious, do you have "Tag A Tiny" tuna tags: Large Pelagics Research Center - Improves Management of Large Pelagic Marine Species

I got 5 tags on board for situations like this but haven't used one in 4yrs! IF I ever got doubles, would also apply.

Nice job Phil.
We got one last week same size on a whiting.
Ate mine using Chinese 5 spice, poppy seeds and black pepper.
Rub just a little olive oil on the fish to get the mix to stix.
Sear for 1 minute or less on each side
mmmm....like tuna ice cream
