What a fight. My crew for the 2 day Jackson Natl. Bank rodeo was in for a test with this tuna. We hooked the fish just before we got blasted by a thunderstorm. Through wind, waves, rain, and hail the guys switched back and forth on the rod. After a hour and a half, we finally started to make some headway.

I’ve heard some people theorize that tunas that fight the hardest usually have empty stomachs, but this fish story certainly puts a hole in that theory. We checked out his stomach and he had about a half gallon of baby blue crabs inside. What a pig.
