After many hours of catching redfish, Pollock, mackerel, and cod. as we kept on fishing for the fun, smaller fish. Luke throughout a tuna rod just for the heck of it within about 15 minutes the rod started pulling off the reel started screaming! oh my gosh, we had one on. An incredible fight ensued. After over an hour of getting him to the boat twice and getting to see him crest one time he looks like something prehistoric. Our guide, who commercial for bluefin tuna approximated that it was about 600 pounds and 7 1/2 feet long. We were gonna have to release him anyway, because the season for recreational fishing was over. This season for commercial fishing was only certain days of the week in order to keep their fishing grounds in good health. The tune ran out the line again and DJ reeled, him back in to the boat as he got close to the boat Luke said he will either be tired enough that we could get a good picture of him in the water and release him or he would dive straight down and spin enough that his fin would cut the line. Unfortunately, that is what happened and you could see the end of the line was bent. but wow one an amazing day and one an adventure. We would highly recommend going out with Luke. In fact we were scheduled to do another day, but it was too windy to go out.

Captain Luke is phenomenal.  Great experience catching cod, haddock, cudder, Acadia red fish and mackerel.  We would highly recommend any family trip with him.  We felt safe and comfortable and in good hands.  Plus it helps that Koda (dog) is now my best friend.

Everything about the trip was what I expected……..GREAT BOAT, GREAT Captain…….EXCEPT…… my son in law NOT telling us of his seasickness!!!! We had to but it short but the Captain tried multiple places with less seas…. We had to call it early…..
I WILL be back (without said son in law!)

Capt. Luke was great wirh our group, ages 6-74.  The stop at Little Duck Island to watch seals was a delight.  Capt. Luke shared history of the area, knowledge of the fish we caught, and was very accomodating.
