Makes your mouth water. Yesterday we had something (?yellowfin) take 200 yards off running without breathing I think, on a trolling rig before it came off. Swivel broke !!! Here is the Capt Dean post. http://2coolfishing.com/ttmbforum/showthread.php?t=89596

hey redkiller- Definitely register at 2Cool to view the report and pictures!
Behind a shrimp boat, on a 12-hour trip, they got hit by some very big Yellowfin Tuna!
The biggest they boated was a 186# bruiser!
People always wonder about what rigs to bring on trips, and don't want to bring too many etc, but this proves the Boy Scouts' motto: "Always Be Prepared". LMAO

..."they better be glad they hooked those yellowfin. from the looks of the rest of the catch the yellowfins saved the day....rick"...Rick..... actually the catch for the boat was fairly decent. Not shown are a number of limits of solid (big not big) red snappers and some beeliners. I had a limit of red snapper and a beeliner of abour 4 pound along with a mahi. We only bottom fished for an hour or so. Keep in mind that the crowd was light and the boat was 'tied up' for about 3 hours easy while some of us played with tuna.  Lost in the excitement is the Blackfin in the center. It was huge. I caught a 27 pounder a few weeks ago and I know this one was much bigger. But next to the shark and two yellowfins you'd never know it. I can't ID the shark. Could be a small bull maybe. .
