Hmmmm. I used to troll my tuna spreads at five to 10 mph for yellowfin and
blackfin tuna.

And you never got a hit, did ya?

Way too fast.

I don't mean to dispute this - I don't have a HUGE amount of
experience with black and yellow fin, but these two fish like higher
speeds when trolling - 6 to 9 knot range and I've had some success
with albies using the same speeds.

I haven't done much bluefin fishing, but I always thought that the 6
to 9 knot range when they are near the surface was appropriate.

Deep trolling, I would agree with you.
