just nailed a fair amount of yellowfin

[Kylie Howard]

got off tower on the rig and decided to do some fishing. first cast and hadnt even begun to make the lure move and got a blowup on the plug. huge fish, ran far and broke off on the supply boat that was on the other side of the rig.

two casts later and im hooked up with another yellowfin, get him on the deck, scale is busted and stops at 65 lbs. big fish. pass the rod off to a friend, same thing. maxes the scale. i get it back and hook up but lose one or two and then get a monster bite. the fish takes me for a damn ride. i finally get it up and again it maxes the scale out. it was probably around 80 if i had to guess. all in all i think 6 fish hit the deck and all maxed that scale out. last night one of the company men caught one at 105.

that was my first tuna ever and i wish i could take pictures out on the decks. oh well, coming hoime with a ton of tuna haha

[RSN]

[sfef84]

Badass!

[Swells]

At least you can take a picture of the meat haul for proof!

[JFD94]

Awesome!

[imhammer]

Very cool Kylie! Tunas on tops!

[Kylie Howard]

I am on the noble danny adkins. i think we are going to jig tonite. Ive never seen so much tuna in my life. theres a vacuum packer just for fish on here hahaha. paid to fish.

[Swells]

Man you're lucky. Most rig operators don't allow no fishing, and only the crewboat hands can do that off shift. What's next, ceegars, whiskey, and Hooter girls?

[RSN]

nice! there's some good currents/altimetry out near danny adkins/perdido. make a report after tonight

[coachlaw]

Freakin' AWESOME! Bring some tuna steaks to da camp!

[Kylie Howard]

just had a fire drill i get off at midnight and im not feeling like fishing tonight i dont think. probably wont be fishing til my last few nights so noone steals my fish. im up in the bridge all day so i can give constant current information if anyone ever wants it but idk how long ill be on this rig.

and swells im as surprised as you are that we can fish off of here. hell the crew on the chouest boat next to me cant even fish.

[Kylie Howard]

yo sandy im gonna try and make it out there not this time im home but next time. i am all booked up with training and hunts but i def want to come stay out there and ACTUALLY hunt next time. im gonna be picking up a boat here pretty soon too so that should be good times. ill save some so i can bring it out no problem.

[Kylie Howard]

the tuna are everywhere tonight i just dont have the energy to get after them

[Meaux Fishing]

the tuna are everywhere tonight i just dont have the energy to get after them

sounds like a good problem to have

[Swells]

I don't blame the man ... if you get close to triple digits, those yella tuna can wear ya out serious quick, worse if they decide to sound deep on ya. I believe I'd need a grandma gear on the reel for catching more than one hog like that.
