New Giant Bluefin painting

[Mark Ray]

I'm getting ready to start a new giant Bluefin painting and wanted to get some reference from the Carolina boys about the best rigs/Lures to add into the painting. I was going to spread some Menhaden chunks in there but never catching or getting to fish for these I'm at a disadvantage. I would love to tag along sometime and see how its done and possibly get some pictures for future painting reference. Any pics or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm going to see if I can have it done before the Wahoo Challenge next week. Below is a Tuna piece I did for Pirates Cove this year.

THE ORIGINAL TOURNAMENT TACKLE ILANDER BULLET HEAD AND ILANDER PRO HAVE PROBABLY CAUGHT MORE GIANT BLUEFIN TUNA THAN ANY LURE KNOWN TO MAN...

Thanks Box, is the trolling method any better than the chunking and jig. Are you adding a mackeral or some kind of strip on the islander?

PLACED STRATEGICALLY INSIDE THE SKIRT IS A HORSE BALLYHOO WITH AN 11/0 7691 MUSTAD ALL SNOCKERED DOWN INSIDE IT.

TROLLING DUDE.....I THINK THE CHUNKING DAYS DOWN HERE HAVE COME AND GONE.....THE TUNA WE CAUGHT CHUNKJING WERE IN WARM WATER 69-71...MAYBE 72


BUT TROLLING WE HAVE THEM IN 53-62 PRIME

IF I GET A RIDE, YOU WILL NEED TO COME ALONG WITH US
