Raider Nation goes LARGE on the tuna today

[Capt. Ronnie]

Fished Chatham Ma the past few days with my Parker for tuna.
Sat
7 fish to the boat
2 48 in fish came home, all others released
including a 6ft + fish that as I had the leader in hand, spit the hook
(I didn't have the friging harpoon ready)

Sunday,
The harpoon was rigged and ready for use!!!
85 in, 72 in girth
400 - 450 lbs (est)
290 dressed out
Sold and it's now off to the west coast!
Pics attached
last pic is one of my 9 year old fighting one of his 48 in fish in 50 class stand up gear!

WOW!!!

I have heard about the giants you guys get in your area of the country (over a 1000 pounds).

Great pic of your son.

Congrats on the fish. Nice to have a charter permit in which you can choose to be recreational or commercial...
