Amazing
What an incredible story , truly a top read and one of the most different ways in which to land a feed of Blue Fin.
There were times there that I would have been totally crapping myself and there were you guys taking it in your stride and plucking some Bluefin . How this did not all end up in tears is beyond me  |

Wow.......What an experience!!!!
Glad that everything turned out Ok! I agree- why are we limited to our catch limit, when the mexicans can snatch the sea of all the tuna that they want!

No wonder why Fred Archer can catch tunas in the pacific with those silly little bars of his. He's fishing in an olympic sized swimming pool
