So one of the members get this text from the (Owner of 976-Tuna) and its a picture of the Opah. I am thinking BS, for obvious reasons. Sure as $h!t, its real! “I was picturing some old Asian guy with a rent rod upside down (not being racist, thats just what I pictured in my mind) getting his butt kicked”.
I’ve seen a few opah battles, and gaffed’em, they pull HARD. Turns out it was the Captain of the boat Western Pride that hooked and landed the fish. Now the interesting thing here is, opah are often found when there are albie around. Up North off Half Moon Bay, they are actually a daily occurrence in the albie fleet. I wonder………………
First a swordfish inside Dana Harbor, then a wahoo caught on the LB bait barge, now this??? What has this world come to?
