Started off slow for us with 1 under bft on the troll around 30#. Found the fish on top and the guys had a blast landing another 6 unders to 35# and a nice yellowfin around 55#. 

Ended up having a good day with steady action on the flukes, middle part of the day anyway. good day out with some great people!!!

Mark and his family from Toms River limited out on Monster Sea Bass.

John did a great job regaining the line and putting heat on the fish, 45 minutes Into the fight I got a glimpse of her!But awesome day in fighting my first giant on standup on my boat, And cool to see so many tuna on the surface!
