This trip was amazing.

We got into some smaller tuna on day one and a buddy fought a large tuna for 45 minutes. He had that tuna almost to the boat when a shark decided to eat it right next to us. That was amazing, the shark hit that tuna like lightning.

Second day we got into some Amberjack that were hitting topwater lures and that was a blast. Looking forward to the next time.

Aggiejosh, your first pic is the one I sent out to the guys telling them to get ready. When was it that you went? This time of year?

Sorry for the late reply. That trip was at the first of November. We went in mid October looking for a cow but, weren't able to find any yft. The whole marina only brought in 2 yft that day. We were lucky enough to catch a few wahoo though, with one going 70 pounds. So, we decided to book the next trip Eddie had open which was 3 week later. We timed it just right as the weather had been rough for a couple weeks keeping the shrimp boats off the shelf. The weather laid up a few days before we got there and the big yft had just started targeting the shrimp boats. That day was amazing. In addition to seeing 4 - 200+ lb yft under the boat at one time, we had a 400 lb blue marlin eating bonita off the trim tabs at the same time.

Here's an under water picture with the marlin and one of the yft in the same picture.
