by If you are still looking for a last minute gift for your favorite angler, a membership to the International Game Fish Association would be a perfect choice that can be made with just a phone call or e-mail.
That will bring the latest issue of World Record Fishes, which weighs more than most of the fish I catch, plus newsletters and special ublications while also allowing the angler to check out records in a vast array of species and line classes that may provide an opportunity to seek the prestige of joining the greats of the sport with a world record fish.

N.Y.C, skipper John McMurry has found the early bluefin tuna concentration “First things first… Yeah, the tuna are here, and Captain Darren is running an open boat tomorrow and needs heads ($600pp). Hit me or Darren up ASAP if ya wanna go. Second, I ran my first tuna trip of the year yesterday. Man, there was a crazy amount of life (whales, dolphin, birds etc.) pretty much everywhere we looked. HUGE aggregations of sandeels. We had to run kinda far before we found any tuna on’em tho. Once we got on’em, broke off one giant (on a @RonZ)… Damn near spooled us before I could light the boat off and chaser her down. One of those fish you know pretty quickly you’d have little chance of landing. Then another on a popper before we put it together and landed one about 65”. T’was an EPIC strike. Fish absolutely destroyed the old reliable Madd Mantis Cherry Pop, coming damn near outta the water to grab it. We left’em biting, as we know it was pretty unlikely we’d find an under, and we had a LONG ride home. Purdy good start I gotta say, and it should just get better. Got a lotta availability for the rest of June. Hit us up of ya wanna go! ONE MORE CAST CHARTERS/ NYCTUNA.COM“
