Peter holding a 35-lb bluefin tuna
Bluefin tuna, 35 pounds, taken aboard the Sun Rise from San Diego. We got into a wide-open bite that day and got our limits of tuna up to 38 pounds. It’s the only time I’ve seen bluefin bite like that, though that kind of bite isn’t rare with yellowfin or albacore.

Peter struggling to hold up an 80-lb bluefin tuna An 80 pound bluefin tuna (the biggest of four I caught that day) taken from the Sun Rise out of San Diego in 1993. While most of my buddies have 100 pounders to their credit, this is my biggest to date.
