The school of giants

Hello Anglers,

Our luck continued today when another school of giants got on us in the morning. When the first fish to hit the deck was 321 pounds, I knew we had the school we were looking for. The next fish was 303.8 and the next one was 302.1 pounds. Shortly after that a 310 came over the rail. We ended up with 13 fish for our day and lost a few big ones. That gives us 17 over 200 and five over 300 pounds for the trip. In 11 seasons on this boat I have never felt that the opportunity to catch a 300 plus pound tuna was as good as it is at this time. I personally have never seen this many giant tuna crashing around the boat on some of these stops. Tomorrow will be our final day of fishing down here before we have to start heading up the line. Wish us luck........ JUSTIN
