First bluefin tuna of the year

Went out east today and pulled the squids around. Low and behold in the 54 degree water came a 64" tuna. Not a bad way to start the day off. Went to weigh it in at Hook-Up but their scale was broken. Guessing weight 150-160pounds. Didn't get a picture of it yet still on ice but will post when I take them. It is good to hear a drag scream again.

You're up next on the rod for the tuna. Got a nice cd for you to listen to while you are playing the fish.

SS I give about 90% of it away to people who want it and keep a little for my family. I will release all the tunas I catch unless someone wants it.

Let's not get all wrapped up in the Tuna stuff just yet, the Harwich Headhunter is coming up.

WOW, you are out of control kid. You are all over those tuna you machine you. I hear more of your tuna catches than anyone else and never here of your bass catches, you got it bad.
remind me to never catch one of those, I don't think I can handle it.

Great Job!

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Already Matt? I haven't even splashed my boat yet this year. I'm finally heading out Sunday. Good for you kid.

Yep, according to the reports I got yesterday the blue sharks are there. Some boats lost count when they got to about the 20 fish mark. Makos shouldn't be far behind.
