John called me and wanted to do a special birthday gift for buddy Rick and brought along buddies Chris, Dave, and Rich. Made our way to the deep and after 15 minutes got the right bite. Fought the brute for over 2 hours on 50lb standup, guys did a great job and landed their 71 inch bluefin. Weather started getting snotty so ran inshore to get more action and started crushing the school Bluefin on the Chatter bars in every color. Got our under limit on the first pass, released some more then sprinted home! Congrats to the guys for a great job on the rods and busting some tuna cherries!
