Today I fished with Ed Mooney aboard his boat "Road to Happiness". We fished for tuna about 45 miles southeast of Fire Island Inlet.
The tuna fishing was pretty good and we caught three bluefin tuna up to 60 pounds keeping one for the table. We also had a Mahi of about 10 pounds. We went 2 for 4 on jigs and 1 for 1 on the troll.

Some big fish were caught by other boats, up to 200 pounds as reported on the VHF radio. Many big fish were lost after long battles on light jigging outfits. Chris Madonia on his 36 foot Yellowfin "Insuf -fish-ent Funds" fought a fish for about an hour only to lose it at the boat. He estimated the fish at about 150 pounds.
The most spectacular part of this trip by far was the whales. I have never seen such a concentration of these giants in one small area. I would estimate there were over 200 whales in a 3 square mile area.
It was a spectacular sight to see.
A great day of blue water fishing.
