Fantastic! Looks like you are using the Fin-Nor Offshore, what size? What rod do you match it with?

its the 7500 finnor offshore. the rod is an all star blank. cut down. i forget. its nothing special though. pretty light, usually use it for pogies.

the plug has some sweet tuna teeth marks on it now. i want to retire it but im fishing tommorow so i dont think thats happening. i just rigged up some old bernzies for tuna tommorow.

Nice job! You should send Dave some tuna when he returns from his honeymoon.... I hear the ceremony is this weekend.

this is pretty cool my friend got a little video right after the hookup, the last run on the video is when the fish actually realized he was hooked. it went on for at least another 30seconds on 20lbs of drag.
