A guy jigged one on a PB tuna trip a few years ago, brought it in too. On the Voyager maybe?

I got this one on a jig last October 15 on the voyager. When we anchored guys started hooking up right away (chunking) only to get cut off after a few seconds. We all figured it was sharks until I got one of the culprits. I was the only one jigging. They're teeth are sharp but can't bite through a jig. Lol.

Jigged a few last year at the Hudson Canyon. I can't say it's a regular catch up here in NJ I've been going to the Canyons over 20 years now last year was the first I have had the opportunity to land one. But never really targeted them specifically. Have seen some caught most every year but not in numbers.

I've jigged them down in Antigua on benthos jigs. High speed high impact vertical jigging at its finest! Locked down the drag and hold on!

fish where the tuna life is only trolling much faster, 12-14 kts with heavy wahoo lures and cable leaders. the thing is u can be missing great tuna fishing doing that .. u might pick up a mako though
