Out wide
Published Saturday, November 29, 2008 by John Hendry | E-mail this post
With eldest son Jonathon on board we spent a couple of days on Linden Bank hoping in vain for some action before heading out wide to the tuna aggregation. Day one out there saw Jonathon on this one at 500lb.
On day two the action picked up even further, with Jonathon tagging and releasing this one at 650lb. It was a tough fight as the fish was hooked on the dorsal fin and wrapped in the leader. We used the satellite tag we had been saving all season for just the right fish but with one day to go we couldn't be fussy. The fish was released tired but otherwise in excellent shape so we look forward to getting some feedback on where she goes.
And just to close it up, John got a small blue.
