Now that would have been a fight. Where did you catch it?

ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Palmer,

They were taken about 40 NM due E of Chatham, MA. I'm considered lucky by my duck buddies due to my respectable collection of bands. Guess what. The tuna had a tag, marked 'REWARD', a # and a code. Location? Spain.

KG, Man, that is a Big Yellowfin. Once we had a triple hookup in Jamaica on similiar sized fish. We were using rented Jamaican gear that was crap--still got lucky and managed to boat all three!
Hope your reward is as enjoyable as catching that fish!

Actually my friend, that is not a decent yellowfin, but rather, a small bluefin.

They get just a wee bit larger than that juvie, by around 1000 lbs. This one is 901 lbs. They get bigger. Considerably bigger. Record rod and reel is 1400 lbs and change, I believe.

All tunoids are a boatload of fun to chase though, and sounds like you've had some fun with them mon.

With some, like the giant BF, it's about enough fun any crew can handle!
