And there's the problem. We had exactly the same thing Saturday morning - birds, tons of bait, whales. Marked tuna way down deep but with 100 boats on the water, we heard of only one or two hookups. We took the wives on a pleasure cruise Sunday to whale watch and rode past a boat hooked into a fish for 30+mins on what looked like a Penn 80. Exact same conditions. The difference? Maybe saw 5 or 6 boats fishing Sunday.

Did you happen to see the crazy kayaker on Saturday? I couldn't believe my eyes when the guy was paddling around the tuna fleet. I don't know what would scare me more - the whales or actually hooking up with a tuna.

He's been out there a few Saturdays in a row now.
