Labor Day thoughts
First: Wishing all a save, sane, happy and fruitful holiday..
I was remembering back in the '90's I always got real excited about Labor Day as the first Tuesday after, the Gambler's tuna season started. Muldune, Dennis and I couldn't wait for that Tuesday to arrive; we always made it and some trips were truly, and I hate this overused word, epic with over 100 yft, mahi and even a few birds. Everyone caught and a few times we came in early. Those trips were all 24 hr.. 80# test at night, then 50# at daylight, a spinner for mahi and maybe a jigging rod. It took a few years before we lightened up on line/leaders during full sunup. But that was then and this is now. Still, getting antsy anticipating the first 30 hr. trip on the 24th.
