After a failed tuna trip a couple of weeks ago, i finally had a chance to hop on a boat out of San Diego. Two weeks prior the trip, Chris (Chris273) PM'ed me to go on a trip together. Chris is one cool dude, and im glad i met him and fished with him.

Chris met at my house, and we carpooled to Seaforth Landing.

We had our reservations set for the Legend on a 1.5 Day Trip.

First of all, i would like to thank and recommend this boat! Awesome captain, crew, and chef! Made the trip a whole lot better.

Then during the day, we do more trolling, and all of a sudden ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

Couple of the lucky anglers who hooked up on one of these bad boys!

And here is my first ever tuna! 30lb Yellowfin Tuna.
(and no, i didnt get to eat the heart. Deckhands were too busy, and they dropped my fist straight into the freezer. And yes I told them it was my first one. Hopefully next time!)

Nice killing dude! And congrats on your first Yellow Fin! Dumb deckhands screwed up the tradition. But if everyone's hooking up at the same time, I guess you have to keep on fishing. Next time. Making a name for that TFClick! HA!
