We went out for a 3/4 day trip. We spotted few schools of bonito right after going outside the lagoon. The bonitos were difficult to catch. We caught one then no bite . So we decided to go to deeper waters in search of the fish. After few hours we saw few birds feeding went to the spot and saw like a old fishing net floating in the area. The fish was here. 4...to 5 fishes came on the lines and 2 of our reels started to sing. We slowed down the boat and the fight started. The first fish came near the boat quickly. It was a young yellowfin tuna. But the second one took much longer. It was a 62 pounds tuna. We informed other boats of the activity in this area. We changed technique to increase our chances of catching the tuna. Caught few and used a yft and a bonito as live bait. It was time to look for a marlin. But unfortunately that day no marlin came. We were back at the beach with a 62 pounds tuna, 2 bonitos and 3 small yft
