Awesome video of big red drum on the surface. Watch the video and you can see it’s when it’s filmed through polarized sunglasses and when it’s not, world of difference. Can’t recommend polarized sunglasses enough.

In the summer of 2012, a young Bluefin Tuna was caught, tagged, and released back into the ocean near Massachusetts after an estimated 10 minutes of fight time. Captain Paul Higgins, aboard the Bearboat, released the tuna in excellent condition with an estimated 48 inches of length. A decade later, that same Bluefin Tuna, likely on a brief European vacation, was recaptured off the coast of Ibiza with a length nearly doubled that of the original tag (94 inches, 660 lbs)

As always, thank you to everyone who provides us with such valuable data. Thank you to our Tag & Release Program Sponsors Boaters List Costa Sunglasses YETI Garmin King Sailfish Mounts Casa Vieja Lodge International Game Fish Tournament Observers
