The (Poor) Payday on this Bluefin Tuna will SHOCK YOU (Price Shown at End)

January 9th. 6:50am. We roll onto the grounds and it’s an absolute rush-rush-rush situation—boats are getting bites fast and you’ve got to capitalize before the quota clock runs out. In this trip you’ll see: Early bite that comes off (the pain starts early) “Wrong species” and bait thieves chewing up our time Why we re-rig immediately after even tiny damage (no risking a quality fish) A couple smaller-class fish + clean releases A hot bite that turns into chaos (break-offs + crossed lines) The teamwork and boat handling that finally leads to a keeper on the rope Water/temp notes from the grounds (16–17.5 fathoms, ~72°) and why the fleet network matters We got one dragging behind the boat cooling off, and we’re grateful—because time is tight and the shutdown can come any day.
