Made my first Tuna Trip on my 26 foot Northriver. Had a crew of 4 including myself. Went out 50 miles pretty much straight out. Fishing was hot got our first fish letting out a daisy chain out the center rod didn't even get the rod in the holder it was fish on. This was the virgin run didn't try to do a bait stop until we got our 3rd fish on the troll. Once we started doing bait stops we were loading up the boat quick. Fish were boiling around the boat we started with $80 bucks of bait I have one bait well so got almost two full scoops which worked out just right. The water was flat temp was like 62 to 63 degree's. Lost a few that broke off lost a few that didn't stick. Over al I think we kicked butt had a great time. Called the fuel dock on the way in from GH buoy to see if they would stay open for us we made it to refuel at 5:20. Burned 73 gallons of fuel not bad for dual 200's we hold 120 gallons so had plently left over. Did salmon the next day lots of Kings just crazy releasing so many 20 plus pound fish.
