Albacore tuna....
 

Last saturday we put in31 of these longfins and called it, done by noon. Didn't want to catch to many, need a excuse to do it agian this sunday.

Pictures are of my sons at our cleaning station

Nice!
We get longfin mixed with the yellowfin here in the fall but they are 90+ miles

We are lucky this year, they are close, 35 or so miles, gotta love these years.
Had some friends that are out of control, 1 caught 72 the other 84....that is a good day worth of carking..

Longfins are small but you gotta have a lot of friends to give fish with that many tuna.

We only get 3 bluefins/boat/trip and I have a have a bunch in the freezer and happy neighbors.
Unfortunately the bluefins that were 40-60 miles out have moved on. Last year the small ones came back thru in Oct only 20 miles out.
The night chunking for yellowfin/longfin in the canyons will start soon. I just need flat weather for 2 days.
