After crashing my phone making calls all day and trying to put a crew together for a trip with a sponsor here, wound up heading out on a exploratory tuna fishing trip. Faced some "confused" seas on ride out with tight swells. Set up in early light and heard of a few tuna picked here and there and some sharks in the area. Finally hooked up with one, it runs and I then gain on it and feel some popping and then see it at the surface way back, Bad news was right behind it was a nice MAKO snacking away at it and ate 1/3 of the body. Continued to press on and faced a pending front and storm moving up from south. Rode it our for a bit and paid off. First with a football size tuna we watched jump up out of the water to crash the spreader bar. Safely released for another day. The next fish we came tight on was much better, @ 50lb fish not big in length, but round. Boated him up and sniffed around for one more before rain started up again and looked like another storm cell was heading our way. Glad to finally get back out there and able to catch a few of what we set out to find!
