Awesome fish. One thing I have never cuaght is tuna. I want to catch one so bad.

Went to Cabo twice, first time went for Dorado and Marlin. Second time we asked to find some tuna. They drove around for a few hours and no tuna were around. Rigged up for marlin and dorado and ended up catching a few of each. Been on a few party boats out of Galveston and Corpus where a few stray blackfins were caught but again, never had the luck of getting one.

At Cabo we by chance were there during the Bisbey Black and Blue tournment. One boat accidentally hooked into a 304 pound yellow fin. Didnt count for anything in the tournament though.

Yeah, but his grin hasn't changed a bit....

Cool that they actually took some pictures when they were out there. I don't think we ever even had a camera at the camp much less on the boat.

hRt, were yall fishing the midnight lump?

That...plus bleed it out and stop it from thrashing around on the deck.

Iberia ... I don't know if we were or not. I do remember the Capt. saying that Rig was 56 miles out.
