Catching Cape Cod Bluefin Tuna

Catching a tuna is an experience unlike any other. It is quite literally like trying to reel in a freight train.

I've dreamed about catching tuna since I was a little kid. Four years ago that dream finally became reality after a 5 hour (yes 5 hour!) battle on light spinning gear.

Since then I have learned a lot about tuna fishing. More than anything else I have learned that I still have a lot of learning left to do!

Hopefully these posts will help you land that first tuna, or that giant tuna of your dreams.

Good luck tuna wishing and let me know if you catch one!
