Trip Summary
No brakes — all gas today! We arrived at our northern FAD, made just two passes, and boom — hookup! At first, we didn’t think it was that big… but 2 to 3 hours later, we knew we had a serious fish on. Everyone took turns on the rod — and that teamwork made the difference.
BAM — fish landed, and time for some well-earned photos. Huge respect to our army dad onboard, who fought the yellowfin for over 90 minutes straight — absolute warrior.
A true 120 lb trophy tuna and a day none of us will forget!
