Offshore veteran Michael MicKelvin and tuna virgin Chris tag-teamed this 131# yellowfin. This tuna smashed the first bait we threw in the water as soon as it hit the water.  An awesome strike and a great way to start the day- especially after fighting the fog and the 6′ ground swell on the way out. I can’t believe Michael let us drift that far from the rig while fighting the tuna, but at least it’s in the boat.
