* Hey SC
That pic kills me too.....holy hell....some nice tuners!
I have a buddy, merch marine, works on drilling rigs....right now hes off the E coast of India- sez its a real chit hole area onshore....but offshore.....its paradise....big mahi- unreal tuna....and I've seen similar pics (not as clear & as close though-- holy crap@@!!)
Awesome pics. I am jonesing for a big tuna to whack a top water. Must be nice to be paid for it... But then, I guess you gotta give up some to get that perk.
Keep the pics coming.
What awesome animals! This "from up high" perspective is rather unusual for most of us, but it certainly does those wonderful creatures justice.
Thanks SC! We want all you got!

Trust me after last years(Nov 2007) SKA National Championship in Biloxi, MS I am a TRUE believer. The amount of life around these rigs is UNBELIEVABLE. We prefished all week and caught bait prior to the tourney. I kid you not we were using sabikis and jigging up 5lb red snappers while trying to catch blue runners (we released them all because were out of season), then we decided to just pull off the rig a little to let me check out the surroundings and see what we might catch, when wham 5 minutes and first 25lb king, then within 30 minutes we ran to another rig and at one point we must have seen 20+ kings skying out on us. UNBELIEVABLE!!! And at one point we had a school of spade fish come through that must have been 3 acres large. We probablly caught and release 30kings on Friday and well over 40 on Saturday. I found a bait pod about 300yrds 45 degrees off one of the rigs legs and literally everytime I went through it we had a single or double. LETS PUT THE RIGS UP OFF NC NOW!!!!
