What an atmosphere we got going on here on the boat. It's cigars and cocktails all around as the reflections of battles won and battles lost is the hot topic of the day. We had some very special moments this week during the bite, with crew members going all out to save every fish possible. One fish in particular got wrapped up on one of the stabilizer fins and a crewman jumped in and unwrapped the line only to have the fish wrap up on the sonar dome immediately afterwards. A second crewman jumped in and grabbed the line so that we could cut it and re-splice it on the other side of the boat. Our angler and all the passengers let out an enormous yell when the monster 280 lb Yellowfin hit the deck. Each and every crewman on this vessel works and fishes straight from the heart, it is very rewarding to work with them. Our sponsors also deserve a huge thanks and some very worthy credit for their fine products that handle these Giant Tuna with perfect performance. Avet Reels, Seeker Rods, Seaguar Fluorocarbon, Owner and Mustad Hooks, all helped in making this Epic catch. We hope you enjoy more photos of these Giants and will send more tomorrow.
