Out in the deep, hunting for monster yellowfin tuna - 25 miles off Antigua.
Jigging sorted us out with plenty of baby blackfin for livebait and skipjack tuna for cut bait.
The baited outfit delivered several decent yellowfin and blackfin and then an 80lb yellowfin for Big John.
Then Eli rustled up another heavyweight yellowfin on his last drop with John's Van Staal jigging outfit.
One heck of a tussle, 40 minutes ( - and some seriously strained buttocks later!!) - an 70 pounder hit the deck of Blue Rapid - and we decided to head for home.
Great sport, great company, great food for the table - the finest possible way to spend a Sunday.....
Many thanks to all!
