    Nice write up Gman, I need to get a camera like you have. It makes it easy to get lots of shots in little time. We always lack in the picture and video department, but then again we're use to being hooked up and busy, rather than watching you hook up. LOL

    Well I'm still jinxed on these last couple of trips and something deadly is about to occur if I don't get my fix soon. I had a good time fishing with you Glenn and so did Jesse and MIke. We are very passionate about jigging and never stop till its time to go. I was impressed that you do the same. There are lots of guys out there that want to jig and they do, but not to the same level. You are right bud.

    To sum up the report, we had a pretty good day. The bites have been frustating with a very poor hookup ratio. Wether its the tackle, motion, fish themsleves, or just a luck thing. I don't believe in the luck thing that much so its something else.

    Glen just had them dialed in at half day. Once he got that first fish on he knew what they wanted and he gave it to them. To all the jiggers out there if you think that everyone seems to be doing the same thing- its not. I think 99% of the time there are reasons for the high hook angler even if they don't even know what it is they are doing different. He did something that the fish liked and killed his jig for the most part with some lighter hits. All of mine and jesse's hits were light. You need to get these tuna to really slam the jigs in order to get them in.
    Enough about my theories.

    Oh yeh that beast fish had one hell of an attitude and we all lots that fish not just Glenn. We had the motors off, so it was too much time to get the boat moving fast enough and then Glenn put too much on the fish. When they are stretched out that far, you need to lighten up the drags. I'm not sure if the fish was a pig or just a demon, wither way it kicked our asses.

    Till the next tuna slaughter in a couple days!!!! Its only been 2-3 trips per week, what a tough life.

I made a rookie googen mistake by trying to stop it with my palms and tightening the drag. We would have eventually caught her but I was panicing so after leaving me almost at brass from all the pressure my leader broke at knot on swivel. Talk about walk of shame reeling in almost 550 yards of braid and leader. Fish was a beast
    You damn rookie you forgot the most important thing that happens when you dump a 20000SW Stella.............!!!!!!!

    Never touch the spool afterwards because it will burn off your fingerprints!! LOL

    Dude shit happens and we all messed up on this one. Live and learn.

    I to leaarned some new things on this trip.

    Hey Glenn, What a day! You're definitely traveling in the right circles, and fishing with great confidence. I love the photo of you with the reel almost in the water.

    When you got spooled, assuming you started with 18# of drag, you ended with about 50#, and after tightening the drag on the Stella you probably got to 70# of drag. Very big numbers! Any fish that can pull 50# of drag and keep going is a BFF.

    Thanks for the great report.

    Good report! Trav got me started in jigging AJs and tuna last year. I learned a lot from Trav, Jesse, and Mike.

    Hey Gman, what kind of camera are you using?...Nice pics
