NJ canyon trip
I was invited out on a friend of a friends 50' Ocean for an overnight trip to Toms Canyon. We got 10 yellowfins and 2 big longfins in daylight trolling. No tuna on the chunk. I stayed up all night getting bit off by sharks, I got a 150lb blue to the boat to be cut off. At 2 am, with everyone else sleeping , our deep swordfish rod went off. I had a big fish screaming on an 80W for about 5 minutes while groggy people came to their senses. We were late to getting off the ball and underway . That screaming fish doubled its speed and then it all went slack. Reeled in the bait. the hook pulled from the crimp. the bait still attached by a nose wire. definitely not a shark. Bait looked like it was down a throat. Oh well, better luck next time.
Saw a dozen or so minke and humpback whales and uncountable porpoises. Yellowfins right under them. Check out the video... http://youtu.be/Ele5LLzoOCk Oh, the tuna that is being held up in the photo is the big longfin, pushing 60lbs

Great trip Chuck, I guess you will be invited back since you were the only one awake on the deck. Looks like a 16' beam almost could hold a V-20. I see you ran out of Barnegat a lot different ride then a V-20.Congrats on some good fishing!

I would label that trip EPIC. The big sword would've made it super epic, but that is how it goes. Great job and thanks for the vid and story.
