First confirmed MHC Bluefin

[Fishfinder]

I talked to a customer of mine today at a DMF meeting. Yesterday he was fishing offshore of the Atlas Tanker on a temperature change trying for wahoo when a estimated 200-250 lb bluefin ate the long line. They worked on the fish or a good while and managed to get the tuna to the side of the boat 3 times before the leader connection failed. They were fishing 80 lb topshot on a 50 wide. Hopefully this is just one of many that are going to be showing up.

Thanks for the report Joe, better get the red and white hair ordered...

[Fishfinder]

Stocked up and already tying. I also have a new 5 3/4 oz size head this year for those that want to get a little deeper.

Good news here. The inshore side of things looked "right" this past weekend. All that was missing was the smell of fresh slicks and busting giants.

Sounds like I might need to knock the dust off of the Grundens and boots

Did I hear today the Run Off had one? Radio was real scratchy, I was in the inlet catching trout, blues, and reds like crazy. Arms are worn out right now, heading off tomorrow to do some bottom bouncing. Groupagroupagroupa....

I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE BUYER OF THIS 91" TUNA PLUS THE BOAT OWNER

SEEMS IT IS THE SAME STORY EVERY YEAR OF THE FIRST ONE BEING KILLED BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHO THE KILLER IS....

[BTH284]

I will confess, I killed it. It was early yesterday morning. It was right at grey light. All 91" of him. Fat too! Boat name was "Short Bus".
















































Fishing solo at falls lake. Thought I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone while scouting divers in the big part of the lake. Ain't now way I am gonna reveal the exact location though.

He hit an all green ilander rigged with a hickory shad, 7691 11/0 rigged to 200 lb. flouro on a 50 stand up, it was a shallow planer release bite.

Should have seen the looks I got with a dead giant iced down in the back of the truck on Hwy 70 east heading to the market.

Sorry, I could not resist here.
