We went on a bluefin tuna fishing trip on November 8, 2011, travelling out of Hyannis, MA. We left the docks at 3 AM and we got to the fishing grounds at 6 AM. Within about 10 minutes from the first drop, my son was hooked on a tuna. We landed it in approx. 20 mins. and it turned out to be a nice 100 pounder, measuring about 47 inches. About an hour after the first catch, my son was hooked on a second tuna, but it was snagged on the side. This one was about 49 inches. My son was hot on this day!! Those 2 tunas turned out to be the only keepers on this trip, as the others did not meet the size regulations. However, we did hook on 4 more undersized tunas; 2 were on jigs, one each by me and Eric. The other 2 were on bait. We also had a good amount of cod, with Albert being the cod master! Overall, it was an amazing trip and beautiful weather. To make things even more exciting, we hooked on a whale at one point. The buzzing noise coming from the reel on the bait setup was so loud and powerful. It made everyone jump thinking it was a huge tuna!!
