Great report and we all are envious. A couple of quick questions:

First, did Frank land the big fish he fought for so long? And what was its approximate weight?

Second, what kind of drag were you fishing when the Tuna Hunter's hooks straightened? Were they the stock hooks or had you traded them out?

Thanks again for a great report.

Someone slept during hot bites ?

The seas were pretty rough. I think that wore some fishermen out.

I slept after I caught my good sized YFT and then awoke for the last 3 hours of the night bite. I think I casted 4-5 times over that three hours, catching one yellowfin, one blackfin, losing one smaller YFT at the boat, and fighting another for over a hour.

Bellyups,
You were a fishing machine!
I was glad to see you broke that new stella in right to bad the OTI did survive the beating.
