I ran my second tuna trip of the season since returning from striper fishing on the Chesapeake. Had the Ingram family aboard to catch their first tuna ever. The fished feed at three different times, first early am, then again about 11:00 am, and again at 2:00 pm. For the last two feedings we trolled around the schools where we could see the nervous water. All of these fish were between 24 and 26 inches. The early morning bite had the best sized fish. Luckily our largest fish was the fish fish caught. Some of the other fish were up to 35".
