Well we did it, Tuna 15: us 1 but I have been and will continue to revel in the one moment, that split second the gaff hit home, for the rest of the week as I sit trapped in a cubicle...
I digress.....It was a phenomenal weekend to return to my love affair with Rhode Island. The people and the weather...not to mention the fishing, all conspired to create what was truly a sublime balance of self-medication, obsessive fishing, delectable meals, and lazy Sundays in no particular order.
I am waiting on more pictures from squirrel so the story will come with those (he did actually hook the fish anyway)
Additionally, my ears in Montauk related equally satisfying stories.....particularly the inaugural trip to the canyons on the Shannon D. The same weather window I enjoyed in Cape Cod Bay was even more friendly to Jean, Jeremy, and their crew as they steamed home from Fish Tails with a 10 knot breeze behind them and a large lazy ocean on which to surf their way home.

Never mind they released a 70lb white marlin (check out the video's) within the first hour of trolling and went 5 for 6 on 60-80lb class yellowfin.
I was also not the only one to indulge in sushi after a successful Tuna hunt...
