Lots of BIG Bluefin Tuna

Lots of BIG Bluefin Tuna

We had chilly start to the morning today and a little left over sea thanks to yesterday’s blow, but things calmed down nicely by the afternoon and folks were out bending some big rods in celebration of Thanksgiving Eve.

I had the pleasure of fishing on board the WRECKER today with Captain Jeremy Blunt and crew, and though we only caught one fish, it was a big one.  The other guys on the crew gave me the opportunity to catch the one and only bluefin tuna of the day, and it was awesome fun.  The big bluefin was 67″ long and weighed in at a healthy 191 pounds.  This was my personal best bluefin tuna and the catch should make for a great episode of Hooked on OC in the coming weeks.

Captain Dale Lisi of Foolish Pleasures had an epic day of bluefin tuna fishing going 7 for 7 bites.  Captain Dale put his crew on three “under” bluefin tuna, one “over” bluefin tuna and also released three more “over” fish.

Captain Marc Spagnola of Dusk to Dawn Bowfishing gave the river fish a break today and instead headed to the tuna grounds in his duck boat.  The trip paid off well with Captain Marc and DJ finding this beauty of a 70″ bluefin.

A couple of my buddies from Bowie High School headed out in their private boat Buoy Boy and had a good day.  Adrian and Steve Tapley, Joe Delvechio and Sam Collins captured this very nice 65″ bluefin tuna.  They were going to be pulling lines at 3:30 when this fish hit at 3:28.

Captain Chris Miller along with crew Chip Raynor, Mike Mosmiller, Chris Petrovia, Nick Mislak had a crazy good day of bluefin fishing on Monday when they landed a 72″ bluefin at 246 pounds, released another “over” bluefin at 68″ and put their two “under” bluefin in the cooler.
Brian Reynolds caught his personal best bluefin tuna today when this nice 66″, 175 pounder hit the deck.
Big Bird Cropper and Phil Heck had a nice day in the bay today putting keeper rockfish and some keeper red drum in the boat.  All caught on Roy Rigs!
Captain Chris Mizurak of the Angler reported some good fishing today with a good mix of flounder, sea bass, bluefish and porgy.

Check out my awesome day with Big Bird Cropper!!
