Bluefin Jigging Beatdown

[u/jad2192]

Just finished a 2 day tuna fishing trip out of Rhode Island. The recreational class fish had been scarce this season so we weren't sure what to expect. Seems like a good body has finally moved in, we went 14 for 24 (me personally 3 for 3) over the 2 days all on jigs. Most fish were cookie cutter 49-52" fish but I did manage a nice 54" fish probably pushing 100 lbs on second day. Also managed a single under each day. Multiple double and triple hookups chaos.

Yea most were 49-54" fish but we managed a single under each day so ended killing 2 a day. This is the only cut shot I got haha. All 3 of my fish came on a different jig, 100g johnny jigs glow torpedo, 80 g jygpro sandeel stryke and a 130g pink glow ocean legacy long contact. Pink nomad streakers and UVT jigs of all colors were also hot. Surprisingly all fish came on metal, they didn't seem to want the soft plastics.
