Solo bluefin - Page 2

I took this one in deeper water. It took 4 hours, but never took more than 150 yds of line during the whole fight. It was a 103"

Sweet! I was hoping you would chime in on this since I know you have had a lot of experience with bluefin. How much did that 103" weigh? I'm trying to get an idea of what my 101" weighed, I couldn't measure girth but it had a healthy one. Guy I was fishing with said it was probably 72-74" in girth.

The 103" was estimated by Kashiko the broker at 575lbs. It cored out at 465 and thats what I got paid on.

I would think that it would weigh 600+ easy

HOLY SHIT is about all I can come up with. That's awesome.

These were my helpers on that one. There is no need to fish alone for me. I can always seem to round up a crew. My dad used to help me during season and I had my friend Craig along. I managed to get the whole fish in the screen.

Fishing alone for these isn't cool. I think its pretty stupid actually. You must have a mental defect or something if nobody wants to go with you.
