Jim Vanator Tuna

Had Jim Vanator and crew from Alaska out today, made bait and got to the grounds, albeit a tad late. Able to jig 2 nice yellows and the bite completely died. Went searching, found some mahi, but not what I expected. Found a nice slick and started working  and hooked up a big fish on 40 flouro, during the fight we had tuna thick in the spread. John and Steve did a great job on the fish, but due to a prolonged fight the taxman came a calling. Awesome sight to see 500lb mako  turn our 70lb tuna into  a Scooby snack! After she showed up game was over. On the way home looked for some bluefin and found them, fish airing out from 100-500lbs, however couldn't get a bite, tough day of fishing but the boys from Alaska got to see the New Jersey offshore scene!
