Here’s a nice Catch
This fish would have placed well in the recent Mulege tournament.
It was taken off the NC coast.
Southeastern Marine
about a week ago
Captain Josiah Van Fleet of the "Happy Fleet" landed this monster bluefin today out of oregon inlet. The fish measured 114.5 inches and was estimated
at over 800, close to 1000 pounds. Scales at oregon inlet were broke.
Hia family bought this used 2007 Grady-White 225 Tournament with a custom hardtop with a 2 year old Load Rite trailer. Our dealership installed a new
Yamaha Outboard on it and made it preowned certified and added new Garmin Electronics.

Off the North Carolina coast out of Oregon inlet. 45 miles out. Big haul for a 22 ft boat with it looks like 4 on board. Probably took all of them to
get it on board. It took 2 hrs to land and broke a reel but managed to change reels and splice the line. It took over 2 hrs to wrestle it on the
boat.Not many Tuna live long enough to get that big.

That is a really heavy fish to pull aboard a small boat in open ocean . The really should wear pfd when doing questionable lift, or scrambling on top
of rail like the dude in pic. Those guys in bibs should wear pfds. Bibs are really heavy when you get submerged!
Woke!

Right on the pfd’s. Majority of drownings are not wearing pfd’s of any kind.
Also if I were going out 45 miles I’d want to have two engines as backup. Just a personal opinion knowing how fast conditions can change on the
ocean especially here in Oregon.
