Tuna
Got a nice fat BFT on sat on josh wellfleets classic 23 off the race. This one hit a Northbar Bottle Darter plug on the spinning rod. Tough lifting these fish with that tackle! After a good harpoon shot by Josh we got the new (old) boat nice and bloody though! What a day!

Re: Tuna
Next time we will take better pics 'posing' entire fish and a proper measurement pre deheading. As well I should have snapped a photo of Steve's hour long battle, red sweaty face, and Bud-y-zer with sippy straw
 . We opted for a quick bleeding/gutting/deheading and icing down for eating flavor. Been a long Bluefin chase as stated targeting mid to late summer. Of course we hooked up on the lightest rig on the boat! Holding off winterizing engine, with hope for a few more days off Cape Cod chasing bluefins.

Re: Tuna
I know these SeaCrafts are built tough, but not quite to icebreaker standards
Besides, we had to dress in our ski gear this past sat and it was mild for november. No heaters on these CCs Steve

Seriously, I lived for a while in OC, MD, and I remember fishing for mako and white marlin in March, and watching the ice build up on the outriggers and tuna-tower on our Rybovich. I was freezing and wearing at least 5 layers of clothing. As I was on the 28* flybridge running the boat, I couldn't retreat to the 65* warm salon where the clients were warming themselves further with brandy. We boated and tagged one white marlin in 6 hours, and released two very small thresher sharks. It was a long cold day.
