Fishing Report 4-24-2009 Deep Jigging Day #2

Headed out with Paul and the guys for day #2. Finally the weatherman was right. Went to the south in search of the big boys. Had great action and caught some decent fish in the morning but nothing over 50 inches. Then the area went crazy with Black fin tuna chasing flyers everywhere. We proceeded to caught them on top water and what a blast. The action was none stop for a while and in every direction tuna were in the air. We had a triple hook up and Igor tried his light tackle set up since we had Mahi around the boat but the problem was that the largest Blackfin of the trip hit the top water plug. After a 30 minute battle a 30 plus lber was in the boat. Later in the afternoon the large AJs started chewing. We had 2 fish over 50 inches the largest was 56″ length and 36 inch girth. Another amazing day jigging/top water with 7 or 8 more species.
