That must be amazing to jump into pelagic water and see a school of bluefin coming. Thanks for sharing.

Super pumped! I wonder how to practice aiming on a quick swimming fish like that. Seems like you almost need to aim infront of the nose and pull instead of at the head? I  can't wait to go on a tuna trip! Looking forward to the shot footage!

Awesome!! The meat looks incredible. I could only dream of hooking one of those on a kayak. What a ride.
The look on your face in the first pic says it all.
Happy!!!!
