SEASON 8 AWARD ENTRIES: BIGGEST FISH CAUGHT

SEASON 8 AWARD ENTRIES: BIGGEST FISH CAUGHT

We caught that fish just off the coast of Baja from the back of our sailboat. One of three greater than 30 lbs. 20 nautical miles past Isla Cedros.
It was a blast. Tuna steaks forever. Vacuum packed and in the freezer. We weighed it with a luggage scale.

75 lb (weighed) yellowfin tuna caught with hand line and landed on Outbound 46.
