They're biting

We left them biting at 12 by 27. 145 and 155 gutted and gilled. Our killbag runneth over....

   A bit more detail... On the way out I'm pretty sure we saw bluefin feeding under a couple of birds in 300 feet of water. We stopped and motored over and as we approached the fish (or maybe dolphins?) sounded and didn't reappear. The birds left, so we did too. The water temp there was 57º and dropped to about 53º at the big drop-off. It then came back up quick to 58º so we dropped the MadMac 200s in at about 11 by 25. Shortly after we spotted a huge bird pile on the horizon. We turned toward it but before we got to the birds we hooked the first fish on the short line, 40 seconds out. I announced our numbers on the radio because I'm trying to be a gentleman. Half an hour later we have a fish in the boat. During the fight you could see other tuna on the fishfinder at times. After making the fish comfortable in the kill bag we started trolling again. Perhaps five minutes later as we passed between two masses of birds, whales, dolphins and breezing tuna, boom, we're on again. Thirty more minutes later and our kill bag is full. There's tuna on the meter again and there's three other boats hooked up around us. We wanted to stay but... We left. We drove a mile or so away and washed the boat. Then we heard guys on the radio yelling at a yellow boat that was supposedly running over their fish and cut off a couple of guys. They were still yelling at him at noon when we were home, cleaning fish and boat. I wonder if everybody made it home with all their teeth today? Luckily, not my problem, but I'm glad we left when we did. Also, if the fellow in the red boat that was hooking lots of fish but losing most of them (both last Thursday and today) wants to trade a few tips (he can hook 'em; seems we have had better luck keeping them hooked) he can email me at lawsonslanding@gmail.com. Send some photos, too. I'm going to start just following red boats around because this guy seems to have a nose for bft.
