Biggest Tuna and Biggest Squid for the Day 😁 I tell you what you have to respect the Ocean for many reasons, one being how dangerous the swell can be especially when going out really far, just Glad it was a big boat, always make sure you have the right safety Equipment and Emergency devices, Fire extinguisher, Epirb, inflatable life raft, life jackets, proper comms and nav equipment etc for peace of mind. Even though once the Tuna started running all the worries went out the window 😅. Glad to be back on land, but can't wait for the next trip Stay safe and tight lines 🤘
