I can't imagine how big a fly setup would have to be to catch a tuna that big.

A 14wt Helios with an Abel super 14.

Watch out for your knuckles! LINK

100# under a kite south side of Ursa.

My biggest was about 60 but I had three of them about same size in a row and I was beat.

Then on way in we stopped at a piece of plywood floating and popped some yellow jigs for lemonfish and I hooked about a 40 lb and held next to the boat. Another came up beside it and my brother gaffes it and tossed it green into the boat. So my arms are burning and this bitch is beating my legs up while destroying the boat.

When I cleaned all of them and saw my meat haul I decided as black and blue as I was it was a nice day on the water.

Lol. I love it when all hell breaks loose like that.

Caught a 45 pounder on heavy spinning tackle, and was like jelly. I think it and an Amber Jack are the toughest fish I've ever landed...

A little over 300#. About 12 miles offshore.

Just because it barely fits in a 120 yeti doesn't mean it weighs 120.

We, and I think I speak for the entire board, would like to borrow the scale you used.

He's so tiny, I just want to hold him like a baby.

We got out at 1 in the afternoon, late night in NOLA, and didn't get but 15-20 out. Forget the weights, mine's far left.
