Ascension Island: Tuna Surprise


02.09 - ASCENSION ISLAND: TUNA SURPRISE...

The tuna were thick out there at Ascension Island, with a daily dose of large yellowfin tuna ranging from 200 to 300 pounds. There were so many tunas out there that sometimes, we had to run away from large schools of tunas chasing our lures... because at the time, we were fishing for blue marlin...

Lets take a look at some of the recent highlights...
