Great pics and stories y'all.
Sorry I haven't dropped in here and commented more; thing is it gets depressing in the winter months and tuna fishing is my deal. Living in Phx, that makes it possible for only a few trips a year.
Someday I'll get back into territory where I can hike into some alpine lakes like I used to in CO and catch some trout that are rarely seen by most. That's my second favorite.
Looks/sounds like a lot of you know how to make chicken salad out of you know what. Good on ya as they say.
With bluefin in the counts out of San Diego, plans are being made in the back of my mind. The albacore have been non-existent out of SD for many years now; I guess the pelagic environment is just not right for them at the moment. Albacore aren't the hardest fighting tuna, but they sure are lots of fun and fantastic eating fresh.
Here's to tight lines, sharp hooks and good times!
