Offshore tuna 9-11-10


Capt Ken Jones called and said the tuna hunt was scheduled and that my cameras needed to be on board. I do not argue with orders like that. Glad i didnt either cause this was one hell of a trip. Left home base around 3am and made the 60+mile trek to the tuna grounds by sunrise. As soon as we got there it was one. First bait was hit within minutes and we had fresh sushi for dinner. At one point we had albies and skipjacks all around us and bluefins down belowing picking up. I hooked up with something large on my light tackle setup and before i knew it half my spool was on its way to africa. After foolishly applying alittle more drag, my braid exploded and my fun was over. Thanks to Capt Ken Jones for putting us on the fish!!
