Report:
Went out for a day tuna trip to the Tails. Nice ride out, at about 53 miles, saw first whale, and decided to set up and troll rest of the way out. As we set the third line, we had our first fish on. Brought it in, nice 65-70 Lb. Yellow fin. We tried in same area for a while with no other knock downs. We then headed deeper, and hit edge of tails. All of sudden four of the six rods go off big. We figured them to be albies but after some running around we boated a nice 75lb plus Yellow fin. We then worked the remaining three and were lucky enough to boat all four in the end. All othem Yellows, all in the same class. Weather started blowing up so we head back on the troll. Picked up an Long fin Albie on the way back. Long trip back and we were running in the teeth of the wind, but great trip all around. Total, 5 yellows, 1 Albie. Fish hit on all green baits.
