Take that fish to Japan, and you could retire...
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Where did you fish out of and what boat?
How far out?
We are going out of OB late July with hopes of finding hungry Tuna!
Great job and thanks for posting! We were on the Emerald Spirit with Captain George Pfiefer out of Orange Beach. We were about 100 miles out. It was an overnight trip. That fish hit a live bait fished on a kite rig at about 5:15 am. I fought him first but we took turns as he was seriously kicking our ass. LOL! Finally pulled him on board at 8:00 am. Strong fish! Got him up close enough to see color 4 times and he would just roll dive and strip line all the way to the backing on the reel. Fun but tiring. First time I have needed a beer by 8am since I was in college. LOL!

The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.

I caught a 68 lb yellowfin out of Venice once using essentially a big bass rod. I can't imagine one this size. Congrats on a great catch. Was it rough? Sea looks a little rough in the pic.

Got a tad choppy coming in but it was pretty calm most of the trip.
