Got invited tonight at 9:30 to go on a 64ft Viking out of grand isle tomorrow morning. First time out doing some real tuna fishing. Sounds like we will be fighting some storms I'm super stoked anyway

Those are usually the best trips.

They need bodies for snapper count.

Don't care caught fish

They'll buy your beer. Reel in as many as you can. Have fun. Just being out on those boats is an honor, even in 6-8's

I'm too excited to even go to sleep. I don't even care if we catch a fish I'll be so happy to be out there and learn

Had a friend go out last weekend on one of those. Destroyed the tuna and snapper. I helped cook and eat some of it on Wednesday. Have fun. You'll be eating like a king soon. Jealous. Post pics.

prepare to be absolutely exhausted...lack of sleep and fighting the seas always just kicks my arse on offshore trips. weather you catch or not, it is still a trip you will remember for the rest of your life!

Can't wait to hear this story. From rough seas to large tuna hope it's a good one

I'd take that invite in a heartbeat, but you haven't really tuna fished until you've laid down on a slimy bean bag that smells like blood and pogies on the wet deck of a center console just to nod off for 30 mins or so before the morning bite.
