2004 Morehead City, NC Giant Tuna Trip Ill apologies first for the video quality. This was shot on an old school VHS type camcorder. To make matters worse, I had to grab some freeware to rip the DVD to my PC in a modern format hence the evaluation copy watermark. On to the video. This was shot on our buddy boat for the trip. The angler is Bill Scott. Bills largest fish prior to this trip was around a 30# striper. Bills a fly fisherman so he had NEVER been in a harness before. Hes about 61 and works out daily so hes in very good shape. This will come into play later in the video when you see him straining 
The boat is a 26 Regulator I/O. The location is just outside of Morehead City, NC in 2004. The water was around 80 deep most of the areas we fished. The Gear was the Captains equipment, consisting of a Cals Sheets modified Penn 50SW. Max FULL drag on the reel was set to just over 40#. The fish were all caught on ballyhoo on planers.
