Went on a 24hr tuna trip, 4.5hrs ride in + 0 bites + 0 fish and 8hrs (nasty, nasty) trip back = my last tuna trip. been on 3 trips last 3 years, and that last one just killed it for me. Good luck to everyone going this years.
there will be tuna rods and a nice reels for sale in the classified section as soon as I get home to take some pic and post them.

Ps. can't wait to get out tomorrow and enjoy sea bass fishing.
