My 3 day fishing trip

I was on a 3 day fishing trip on the shogun out of San Diego.
Left Sun Aug 25th around noon and got to the fishing grounds around 7am on Mon the 26th. 185 miles out to sea.
We sat on the drift for 14hours and landed 148 bluefin tuna in the 40-70lb class.
On Tues we were able to fish for 4 more hours on the same drift and landed another 30 fish before having to head back to SD.
Got back on Wed the 28th at 8am. Cant wait till next years trip!!!
Here are a few pics of the trip.

Looks like a good trip

Holy shit man you slayed em!!

Looks like a you had a good time and great catch, I love tuna fishin - nothing like it when the fish are charging the boat and it looks like the water is boiling around the boat...

Sushi...................looks like a wild fun time, don't ya just love the ocean, thanks for the pics.

Funny thing is I got back Wed afternoon and had to put all my filets in the freezer since we were going to Parker on Thurs. lol
Going to smoke the first patch tonight.

We all did a good job, I ended up with 6 total fish for the trip.

We handed the school off to that boat because we were leaving. We were throwing bait at the boat and made the fish charge their boat as we pulled out.

I love the rush of fishing when you are getting hit and the line starts peeling off your reel, set the hook and the fight is on.
Average fight was about 20-30 min. You are soar as hell after the fight but the adrenaline rush is the best. Bait up and get back out there.
