We had a drift right out of the gate for 80 of those fish. Most of the fish were 35 to 50 lbs., a couple 65 and 70's mixed in. To top it off at the end we hooked a big one that we fought for 2 hours. with a 40 lb. test we ended up getting it, it was a 184 lbs Bluefin caught at 50 miles.
We went back and got another 40 so we ended up with about 120 Bluefin yesterday. The weather was a lot nicer than we expected. We see a very good sign of fish on the local grounds we expect it to be good for awhile. And the grade of fish is phenomenal for being that close.

We covered all of the same territory where we were catching that Yellowfin tuna last week and the week before that. It seems like that fish has......
