Massachusetts tuna

[Ed]

My friends from work and I pushed off the docks in Boston at 4:00 am and steamed east about 25 miles to Stellwagen. When we arrived at 5:15ish...there was only 4 boats around, but others arrived quickly and it became a trolling merry go around. After about 2 hours, a tuna hits the black squid bar and my buddy Mike grabs the rod. After a short fight....I gaffed her in the head (yeah!), bled her, gutted her and threw her in the fish locker. We trolled around for another hour or so, but no luck. At around 8:40, we pulled up the lines and hoofed it back to port at Mach 6, and arrived at the docks at 9:30am....just in time for work. We were soaking wet and tired, but it was definitely worth it.






CSICKNICK was also out there. I was talking to him on the VHF and he caught one too.
