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

Got 1 in the low 50's this morning, word must be spreading as quite a few boats for a Thursday. This fish put up absolutely no fight on the way in, thought it was going to be a small low 30's we heard about and were getting ready to tag&release, when boat side saw much bigger and told ODM to gaff it....went ballistic but OD managed to keep it under control and bring it over the side. From hookup until in the boat: 4.5 min.

At the dock we decided to a tribute to Dave Marciano (Hard Merchandise) on Wicked Tuna: tails up!

Nice job, guys!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

need to put the 50's away for awhile and have some fun with these fish.it's nice to see this size of fish around - they like to eat. everything seems to be on bars though, wonder how they will respond to to a lighter spread - daisy chains, birds and rubber or hoos.

my 1st wife didn't like me fishing so much

They don't, I run a mix and only bars hit!

Nice job again guys !

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

Nice job Phil.
Might be an idea to run the bars with no stingers and run the stinger hooks on lighter rods as close as you can get?
I hate experimenting when you know what WILL work though..

Last of the steaks from this fish! Tried blackened and cast iron skillet...the skillet definitely helps keep my steaks seared and RARE but the jury is still out on the blackened seasoning. Making our own mix from ingredients let us not add any cayenne pepper...I would not have survived!

The small, well done steak is my wife's, she doesn't want to see any red....

Phil cast iron searing hot is the way to go.

im not a fan of pre done cajun/blackened spice rubs, most of them the first or second ingriednt is salt, and when seared it completely masks the flavor profile of the fish.

ill have to give you marinade recipe i used for the tuna steaks on cutty. simple and easy.

trying to get a hold of the new century jigging stick to try out if we get into feeding fish.

Blackening Seasoning
2 tbsp. paprika
1 tbsp. oregano
1 tbsp. thyme
1 tsp. cayenne pepper (more or less or NONE depending on taste, 1 tsp. is medium spicy)
1 1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt

sounds good phil, instead of the onion powder and garlic powder tey GRANULES with no added salt. adds more flavor

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

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.

Rub just a little olive oil on the fish to get the mix to stix.
Sear for 1 minute or less on each side
