I pulled up as many as twelve at a time, weighing from 9 to 28 pounds. It was a commercial smack gone down to Mexico for 6 weeks at a time before Uncle Sam gave half the Gulf and all of the good fishing grounds to Mexico.
I just love fresh tuna. I’ve tried to tell some of my friends that canned tuna vs fresh tuna... no comparison. It doesn’t even taste similar. Plus, they give a good fight (part of my thrill, I guess). Woman vs sea! I finally was able to take my son with me and he is now hooked on it as well (no pun intended).
