The mighty elusive Bluefin tuna.

[JOHN D]

First of all, I'm not quite sure were to put this because i left out of pp but fished more south. But anyway, today my father and I went out in search for bluefin. leaving the inlet it looked very promising with flat calm conditions so we looked around the three mile line untill we saw birds. When we finally found them we looked around and our guide said that it just looks like bass and as soon as he said that, i saw a volkswagen come out of the water. from then on it was game on. we had about 3 good shots at them but couldn't connect. unfortunatly, after about an hour of runing and gunning, the pea soup fog rolled in at around 10 am in which killed our day. There where alot of tuna out there, and had we been able to fish all day, we probably would have connected. but it was still fun. I always get a thrill at the sight of tuna coming out of the water.

If anything came out of today for me its, why isn't this a bigger thing? there are 200 pound bluefin 3 miles off the beach for Gods sake, and people are trying to catch bass a mile in from that. I just dont get it. I would probably just rather watch the tuna come out of the water than catch a bass, connecting is just a bonus. But then again, thats just my personal opinion.
