We arrived to the bank just before lunch and it didn't take long to figure out that we were in for a good day. Our first jig strike yielded wide open wahoo for a good 30minutes before we drifted off the shallow. Once out in deep water, the tuna took over. For the afternoon rally, we boated 50 tuna from 90-180 pounds to go with our 80 skin from the initial stop. Most of the fish were around the 125 pound mark. We did hook a couple of heavier fish late but for miscellaneous reasons they got away. There is incredible sign of both wahoo and tuna here and I can't wait to see what a full day here will produce for tomorrow.
