Great trip with Captain Rich and mate Pete! Rich runs a top notch operation, his boat is super comfortable and has tons of fishing room. We did very well on the Bluefin tuna and had one of the most beautiful days on the water in recent memory! We ended up getting our under 45" and over 52" and releasing a bunch more. Also fooled around with a few brown sharks and a hammerhead that ate flat lined sardines.

Here are a few pictures from the trip

First is me fighting what would have been our over fish @ about 55". The fish was hooked on a FCL Labo Jig yo-yoed on the bottom with about 20# of drag on my black hole 250g. This rod really is perfect for the local tuna we have here in NJ plenty of power and they are super easy on the angler.

This is when we first got color on that same fish
