Tuna (Yellowfin)
Trip Summary
Trip Summary
We went out for a full day fishing . Not long after being out we spotted a school of yellowfintuna. We went through few time no bite. We opted to change technique but while bringing the lines we had a strike. It was a tuna. After embarking the 35 pounds tuna we continuer and caught 2 nice bonitoes that we used as live bait
It was nearly noon when hooked a 125 pounds bullshark that we released after some minutes of fight. The customer decided to extend the trip to 5p.m. we went again for bonitoes. We met a big school but no bites so we searched for another one where we hooked 2 . We immediately prepared them for live bait with the intention of catching a marlin. On seeing some tuna jumping in the area we also added a small lure at the back few seconds after the reel started singing a tuna was on.
The fight started after 45 mins of fighting on the 50 pounds line a 65 pounds thuna was behind the boat. We managed to lift it slowly and with great precaution so that non to snap the line. We caught it and were back in the lagoon a 5p.m
