We have killed a couple for food (two years ago) and they were great, but we usually don't get many in the eating class out here, most are 500 lbs. plus...

I really want to see this as a tag and release fishery over here, nothing wrong with taking the odd one to eat, but man we've got Tuna and Swordy's over here and they taste a little better.

i gotcha, thats pretty awesome you guys get shots at those big ones. we dont see many over 400. can you guys tag them?any laws? i know you can get some free shark tags off the internet, it would def help conservation. and it must be nice to have a pile of yellows and sword to feast on.

Tim & Crew , Can't wait for more reports on these big Critterts!!!!!!. As far as the Tombo are concerned How long do they stay in the area? Are they caught on the Chunk ?

The Tonbos are A-holes...They make your Tuna crazy buddies put down light tackle rigs that get WORKED by small Swordy's...

I hate Tonbos...5 hours on a Swordy with a light tackle rig...F-the Albacores...My hamstrings still hurt from staring over the side trying to confirm we were fighting a Swordy...

Yeah they eat chunks, Sardines, whole Opelu, half Opelu, 2/5ths Opelu, Squid, whole, half & quarter...

Actually the Tonbo are awesomely big here and the world record gets caught 12 dozen times a year on hand line...On 20-30 it's a blast...JUST WATCH OUT FOR: Threshers, Swordy's, Big Ahi, Mako's and.....Hmmmmm Really big Tonbos...

Oh yeah we run for almost a dozen minutes to chase all of the above...Unless we go long ranging down the coast into calmer waters (less than 6 inches)...Sometimes that takes up to a half an hour....

Tim , I'm sorry that you have it so rough with the long range aspect of it ! And all the damn Tonbos and other critters not letting you enjoy a nice quiet evening out on the water It breaks my heart Damn dude , talk about the best at your door step ! Keep it up Tim and please Keep posting up you reports ! Can hardly wait for the next one !!!!!!!
