4/23/10: Big Eye Tuna


It was a beautiful morning. We found a huge mark of Bluefins and Big Eyes mixed together. We got a single big bite. We thought it was a Bluefin at first but after the fight lasted 3 hours it ended up being a Big Eye Tuna. This Big Eye weighed in at 220lbs. Jason did a great job reeling in this tough Big Eye.

4/21/10: Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna


Started the morning off kind of slow. We had very few bites but by midday the Bluefin showed up. The fishing for the rest of the day was excellent. We ended up releasing a couple of Bluefin and kept this one that weighed 180lbs. At the end of the day we were having multiple hook ups and had a Yellowfin Tuna to top it off.

Bluefin Tuna Fishing 3/20/10


Finally some beautiful weather on the Outer Banks. The wind was calm and the ocean was flat. Started the morning off down South on the edge of the Gulfstream. Looking for Bluefin's and Yellowfin Tuna's. The Yellowfin's weren't around but got into a good bite with the Bluefin's. We caught three Bluefin's in the 60" range that averaged around 150 to 200lbs. We can only keep one Bluefin per day. With over 3knots of current it takes a little time to get a fish this size to the boat.
