Nice Catch Wayne.

Thanks. We had some for dinner tonight, really delicious.

Any Tuna yet?

Unfortunately not, at least not in the boat, or where we could
identify them. We had a couple of big hits several months ago, one
that spooled me totally out before I could get it under control, and
another that broke off a 100 lb leader like it was a rubber band. Who
knows what they were but obviously big stuff. We were docked in St
Kitts a couple of weeks ago when a local boat brought in an 8 ft Tiger
shark, and there are definitely some big tuna and marlin out there. We
are really not rigged out to handle the big ones however, and it
would just be luck coupled with a quandry if we got one to the boat.

Quandry, as in what the heck do we do with this thing now. :-)
