Seems like nobody fishes around here!

This thread needs an update. Last weekend we hooked up to a giant bluefin. Taped out at close to 100" and dressed at 400 pounds. What a wild fight and people don't lie when they say the last minutes when you've got the fish at the boat is when you can lose it. Here's the fellow getting loaded up:

Here's some pics of a rod I just had built for tuna:

Nice fish, Glostamon! Who makes your bent rod 80s? They sort of look like west coast Seekers.

Squished - that 400 lb'er come in on your rod or an 80 set up? Just curious. [wink] You been hitting the surf at all? I haven't been out much at all this year doing any kind of saltwater fishing. [sad2]

Came in on an 80. I would have been spooled in a heartbeat on one of my Stellas with the way my fish fought. 2+ hours into the fight and the fish was still green as can be.
