Nice job on both fish. What # line did you have on?

How are you planning to top that day?
I think I might know the answer but I just have to ask.
Congrats on the double treat.

Definitely going to look for a bigger tuna now. The big boys are in the canyons and cruising the shelves. It only a matter of time before a kayak sticks a tuna over 50#. Probably somebody already has but they didnt post it.

Well the tuna was 10# heavier... but all things being equal they are about the same strength pound for pound. The tuna fight is much different though. The runs are more erratic and the headshakes are "shakier". The tuna will frequently swim towards the boat and even towards the surface sometimes. Also, they will just sit at deep color for a long time and are very hard to bring to gaff. YT once you have them at color they have one run left, then they are done usually.

So rad!!! what an awesome adventure. 7 miles off the coast, wow!

I'll bet you were praying the whole time before gaffing that beauty.
I know I would have been.

After losing one that chewed through 25# flouro, i put out my 40# flouro flyline and thats what the BF hit. Straight 65# spec to 5' flouro leader.
