Caught a few tuna

[dtbushpilot]

We fished the WON Tuna Jackpot Tournament out of Cabo but didn't catch a qualifying fish. Cabo isn't my home water but we learned a lot in the days leading up to the tournament. I decided to go back and take another shot at the 200lb tuna that avoided us during the tournament. In 2 days of fishing I still didn't get the 200lber but we did do a bit better than we did in the tournament.

We used all the usual suspects, trolled various lures, soaked some excellent live bait, flew the kite with a gummy flying fish. While we had some action on everything the big winner was a large natural color cedar plug. Of the quality fish (50lbs+) one was caught on live bait, all others were on the cedar plug. We released everything under 20lbs.

The tuna sausage was ok, not outstanding, just ok. When I made it I vacuum bagged it and put it in the freezer. I should have put it on the smoker instead, I think that would be the ticket. If I do it again I'm going to smoke it.
