First Tuna(s) of the Season !

While I was on the Gloucester Seafood Display Auction dock the recreational vessel "Emma Drew III" pulled in after a 88 mile round trip from Gloucester to land two Atlantic Bluefin tuna. The 30 foot Grady White is smartly rigged to battle these giants that can swim as fast as 43 mph! Both fish were estimated in the 250-280lb range.
