left the dock at 2 in the morning got out there started trolling. had 2 lines in and the first rod i put out (red iland lure with ballyhoo) was 20 feet behind the boat on a flatline and then the clip snapped and we fought the fish for about an hour and the line broke, it dumped half the spool on a 50 we think it was a bigeye because it was so early. kept on trolling, caught a nice cow mahimahi at about 10 and at noon we caught 2 small yellow fins, they were in the same spot as the fish we hooked in the morning and the water temp went up 10 degrees in 7 hours! at 1 we went home

ended up 2 for 3 on tuna and a mahi!

sounds like a fun trip, but come on now, you gotta get that fish in the boat
you were in the baltimore right?

you dont understand lol it went from me to steve to matt back to me and then to jeff! 4 people on this fish lol, if the line didnt snap or anything else went wrong, we would have been on this fish for at least 2 hours, when the line snapped it took jeff 5 minutes to real in the line!
yes when we had this hook up we were trolling down the east wall on some numbers we were given the day before.

I hear ya man, i've had big fish that just kicked everyones a$$ on the boat. Big bruiser tuna are the toughest fish to fight. last summer we hooked up to one that we fought for 3 hours tough but fun right!
by the way, what boat do you mate for? I mate for the Risky Business out of avalon,NJ
