Robbie please discribe what our tuna fight like.
I have only been tuna fishing once out of Westport.
I remember them swimming in circles. Another person says they rip straight down.
Please settle this.

Imagine what a big, tough chinook fights like, cut that in half and you're about there... kidding....kidding!!!

They start with a long run and then dive. Once you get them near the boat they do that circle thing until greeted with a gaff.

Congrats, you're both right!

Albacore. So easy a caveman can do it

Never seen chinooks bite the bubbles of sprayed water via the washdown pump while their schooling buddies are getting free-gaffed. Dumb friggen fish the albies are.

Nice one JD,
That ought to stir the "Cantankerous Cougar" up a bit!
