To say that the tuna fishing was red hot this past week would almost be an understatement. I thought we did great on Tuesday, catching 10 by noon, but Tommy Killerbrew’s crew on Wednesday managed to top that, catching 10 by 11AM! When we had 8 in the box, I told them that I though we had enough. As I was saying that, Inga slipped two baits back over while I wasn’t looking and we had another double on before I could even rebuke the deckhand. But I never would have predicted what happened next. While we were fighting the last fish, the line came slack and the tuna swam up under the boat. This happens often when marlin chase the tuna you’re fighting, but this time the tuna on the line brought some friends with him. Two other free swimming tunas hid under the boat as a big marlin started circling the boat. The tuna on the line made a run for it, and his buddies followed. Meanwhile, another boat passed by and ended up hooking the marlin. What an event and what a great day.
