Overnight Fishing
I took an overnight fishing trip with friends last weekend.
Left dock Friday around noon and headed 65 miles offshore on our friend's beautiful 43' Longfin
Can't ask for better weather
It took us about 3 hours to get to the fishing ground

Re: Overnight Fishing
It started to get real dark as we're getting close to land our first tuna... Took exactly one hour to bring it to the boat... what a strong fish.
and they're fighting even more once landed.... pretty messy job... It's a blood bath

Re: Overnight Fishing
Bites were furious and hard... always a big fight to bring them to the boat
And they kept coming all night long
It was tough work, some couldn't make it.

Early morning, it was time to get back. Another 3 hours trip to go back to land.
And we put the flags up

Re: Overnight Fishing
It's time to show our catches... 12 yellow fin tunas boated, ranging from 27 to 65 lbs
And time to clean up the boat.
and savor some excellent meals
Thanks a lot to our great friends Tom and Lance Smith in Ocean City, MD for this memorable trip aboard their Longfin. Something I will cherish for a long time.
