08/24/08 The Bluefin are back,,,, at least for today. Headed out looking for tuna and trying to stay with-in two hours of the inlet at the charters request. Slow morning but some time around noon we get our first bite on one of our wwb's (way, way, backs). Thirty minutes later we have a 97 lb. Bluefin in the box. About one hour later three rods go down at once, Yellowfin's!!! One never comes tight, one pulls the hook after ten seconds but the other is still on. Unfortunately, after thirty seconds the spreader bar pulls from the fish. I kicked the boat back in gear and immediately the wwb takes off, and this ain't no little yellowfin. Fourty minutes later we release a 100 lb. Bluefin that had a serious attitude problem. With less that thirty minutes left in the day we put a small Mahi in the box.
