Catch of the day

[Noreaster]

Went out for my 1st Bluefin tuna trip of the year, it was the longest run Ive ever done 300 miles round trip. Had 8 bites, lost 4, released 1 & kept 3. Dressed weights with out head, guts & tail was 430-530lbs(add 20% for whole weight).

Georges Bank out by the Canadian line

I don't have any good pictures that show size reference. The biggest one was a 103"

As the season goes on the bigger fish will begin showing up on their southern migration, they can be 20" longer but double the weight. Ill have to dig up some pics from last year during the big run.

Caught 2 more fish Sun. they were smaller than the previous 3. Dressed out around 250 & 290lbs. Heading out this afternoon or tonight, just waiting on the wind to ease up some.

 

[guytonLBZ]

[MACKIN]

Why don't you get on one of those commercial long line boats I see on that TV show Swords.

& 3 more
One of the fish had a pop up satellite tag, $500 reward for returning it so they can use it again. No big story with the fish though, it was tagged a month ago off of Canada.
