Well, another fantastic Merritt 10-day trip in the books. We will be back to the landing tomorrow morning to offload our catch and to weigh Earl's tuna on an official scale. To my knowledge, there have only been four other yellowfin tuna weighing 400+ pounds caught on rod and reel. Win, lose, or draw, it is an amazing achievement. Here is a side by side comparison to Earl's fish caught this trip and John's 445 pounder caught in December 2012. Although they are going to be very similar in weight, they are both built completely different. Makes you wonder if we have been hooking fish of this caliber over the years but are just now able to start landing them because of the advancements in fishing gear. Whatever it is, I feel very fortunate to have seen two of these giants landed in person. Good luck tomorrow Earl.



If you would like to go fishing with us please BOOK ONLINE or call (619)223-7493 to get in on the action.
