I caught him on 20 pound test and a 1/0 Super Mutu Circle Hook. Took about twenty minutes to land. I thought I had a bluefin until I saw it. I cant say enough about using circle hooks for tuna. Gives you a much better chance of catching them. They dont chew through the line.
Fishing is still great. Today 30 anglers on the Admiral caught 318 Albies, with the weather still pretty good. Couple days ago 14 on the Pacific Horizon had 201 Albies.
