Talking V20 Tuna!

Success!!!! Forecast was spot on...We got out the inlet a little late and got to the Glory Hole/Princess just before 7AM. There were quite a few boats out there but not too bad because there was a shark tournament going on that kept a lot of boats busy elsewhere.

We got our bite at 8:30 on a Rapala metal lip plug in mackeral color.
34" fish, 23 pounds. That was my buddy's first tuna and the first Bluefin on the SkunkBoat. We gave that area till 10 then we went looking for Mahi in the Glory Hole, trolled thru pot markers for 30 minutes no bites and then headed home with smiles Burned about 34 gallons 100 miles plus trolling 3.5 hrs

Grilled some tuna and drank some rum & cokes and talked about sharking next...
