If you’re not going to catch many fish, you might as well catch records. That’s the approach we took last Wednesday during a slow day on the Lump. After a long day of hard fishing, all we had to show for our effort was five blackfin tunas. But one of the blackfins was certainly memorable: Robert’s monster blackfin weighed in at 36.1#, making it the second biggest blackfin tuna for the LOWA record books. Also noteworthy is that Robert’s monster blackfin is second only to the 38.6# blackfin caught aboard the KRAKEN five years ago by Dr. James Hawkins.
