BIGEYE and Yellowfin Tuna Oregon Inlet

Footage from what will likely be the best day of tuna fishing out of Oregon Inlet in 2022 (Saturday, May 21st). In addition to the usual fleet of charters filling their boxes, there were also tons of private boats fishing, ranging from big sportfishers to small center consoles. Normally when you go fish after a good report, the fishing slows down. The ocean was much calmer than it had been, and normally the fish don't bite very well when that happens. Couple that with hundreds of boats trolling back and forth over the same area, and it should have pushed the fish down and scattered them out. However, there were so many tunas that it didn't matter, the bite somehow got better. The fish cleaning stations had no room at the end of the day, and there were hundreds of tuna carcasses everywhere. This was truly something to be a part of!
