LeeinVA Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 This bad boy was caught off the outer banks, North Carolina. This is a big eye Tuna taken approx. 15 miles out, I am behind the camera, and my brother inlaw, Jim is holding the rod. To the left is Robert. Anyway, we fought that biotch for three hours. Bloody good eating she was. His boat, Floridaise is behind him to the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 That is some fish. How much would that be worth Lee? I assume you don't have room to keep it all, and sell most of it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
