Then, there's always Guam!!!

they now fish a place called hurricane bank. I saw the red rooster come back one day with a yellowfin tuna over 300 lbs. I could not believe what I was looking at. I am amazed that they land these fish from an anchored boat, no getting off the ball, no chair etc. In talking to a bunch of people that have caught giant bluefins, marlin, big eyes etc many will tell you monster yellowfins over 200 lbs caught stand up from an anchored boat on these trips may be the toughest fight in the world.
