Oh yea, gotta have your shit together...they aren't fluke, go to strike instantly and you most likely will drop the tuna, as you just pulled it out of it's mouth. Circle hook, just wait 4-5 secs, go to strike--hooked up. "J"/live-bait hook set the hook after the 4-5 secs. Lot of fishers don't do this--they lose(mostly). Seen it happen countless times...listen to the mates, watch others---LEARN and keep your shit together. So many first-timers don't realize this offshore fishing is a whole other ball game when it comes to catching/boating these fish. Won't even get into swordies.
