9/5 tuna report. Great crew, great fishing.

The wind has kept us at the dock for awhile, so John and I were really Jonesing to get out on the ocean.

We ran 50 miles, pretty much straight out, and there were a TON of boats out there.

It started out a little slow, but then we found a pile of fish and started to get some bait stops going.

6 or so bait stops later we were almost plugged and it was time to go home.

The amazing part was that our crew did not lose a single fish (except for the one we messed up on, but that was on us).

These guys would wait 20 seconds before they engaged the drag and 90% of their fish had the hooks so deep in their mouths that there was no way they were ever going to spit the hook.

*****If you want to catch a lot of tuna, you need to let them eat it.  Letting them eat it for 20 seconds means you don't lose fish and these guys proved it.******

We are sitting out the wind until Wednesday, but it looks really, really good for next weekend.
