Mike and Tim Heller played their cards just right on Saturday. We knew we only had a half day to fish before the weather fell apart, so we made it count right off the bat. We hooked and caught this pretty 161# yellowfin with the first bait we threw over. Mike has been on several long range trips for tunas in the Pacific, but his biggest yellowfin tuna to date came on a day trip out of Venice, Louisiana aboard the KRAKEN.
My hands have been too cold and pogiefied to do much writing for the past few days, but the wind layed down just enough for us to get out and the tunas were waiting and hungry. Our biggest this past week was this 80″ long 191# yellowfin. Look how wide its tail is! In addition to this tuna, Kevin Sitton and his crew from Oklahoma had two other big fish (136# and 159# yellowfins), several amberjacks and some other miscellaneous tunas. That was just about more than the fish box could bear. What a trip.
