The Tuna is up and out of the water breaching. Fish in mouth and then slicing back into the water with a giant splash! Tremendous fall action on Cape Cod!
"We were 20 miles off Chatham yesterday. This was one of hundreds we saw! Yes, that is a fish in the tunas mouth! We trolled 5 ballyhoo. Eventually Chuck stood up front as the fish were breaking 45’ from the bow, and tossed a RonZ. In 1.5 seconds we GOT BENT. Three hours later the fish was still peeling line (we chased it for 7 .2 miles). We did the unthinkable; we literally cut the braid off the spinner, made two uni-to-uni knots and attached it to a 130 unlimited. It was in the gunnel. We fought it for another 30 minutes. It stripped 100 yards of 80# braid off at 20+# of drag four times! Eventually the braid chafed and the fish broke off. It was amazing!"
