175 lbs Ahi landed by Dane Anderson from Austin, Texas

After catching 3 wahoo this morning, Eric Anderson and his sons were pretty happy.  However their day wasn’t over, not by a long shot!  After trolling for a while, we brought in the trolling rods and put out some light tackle to catch some small skipjack tuna which we then proceeded to use as live bait.  We put one on the surface and dropped another one down about 60 feet on a downrigger and headed out to an area we felt might have some Ahi (giant yellowfin tuna).  Within about 30 minutes the rubber band snapped out of the clip and the rod started screaming.  Dane Anderson jumped in the chair and in a half hour brought in a giant 175 lb. Ahi.  Here is the photo taken minutes after it was landed and another photo taken when it was weighed in.
