The Hopewell Angler's Club experienced some really good tuna fishing during thier annual angler's tournament Saturday. We started off fishing around birds and busting fish and caught 3 out of 5 yellowfin in the 50 pound class. Next was a single yellowfin, a small dolphin and then another single yellowfin. Another captain came on the radio and reported that he just hooked 8 bigeye tuna and he was close to our position. As soon as we got there we started what would be a two and a half hour battle with 2 bigeyes. Andy and Ronnie did a great job and we landed both fish. Ronnie's was 149 lbs and Andy's fish was 178 lbs. Out total tuna weight for the day was 547 lbs. Thanks.
