OBX Offshore - Tuna! Wahoo!
Headed offshore again aboard the Capt BC during our weekly OBX vacation in September. We drew #'s and I got #1. Not 15 minutes into our troll, a rod goes down and I'm in the fighting chair doing battle with a fish. I had no idea what it could be, but it was a strong fish and was pulling drag at will. After cranking and burning my forearms for 10 minutes, a nice 20# Wahoo came onboard. The next guy boated a 40# class tuna. Kim's dad boated a 65# tuna. And the next guy fought and fought and fought and fought a fish for about 30 minutes, and his perseverance was rewarded with a 130# bigeye tuna! (Oh to draw #4 that day!). I came prepared with seasick meds and avoided a repeat of the previous year. Kim's dad wasn't so lucky, and had to be given a bucket. lol. The pics at the end of the day wipe away any ill effects quickly.
