Hungy Tuna !
Jun 19, 2025 Norfolk
Last minute decision by charter to get big fish ! We usually leave the dock 4-5 am,6:30 am as we pull off the dock. So a bit of a late start for offshore fishing! We arrived to the fishing grounds and it looks good,birds, bait,a few big fish marks. Aftter working the area for about an hr, we moved out a bit deeper, found some whales! A great thing when looking for big tuna! I worked the area around the whales. Fish on! I hear the mate scream! Line screaming off the rod! I keep the boat at trolling speed for a bit to see if we can get a double! After about a good 1/2 he fight we got him on deck! Get boat clean and start to put spread back out ,charter says head home !
