Default My first Tuna!!!!

Went out with Tracker about 2 weeks ago.....I know delayed post.....But it was my first trip out for tuna! I was accompanied by my good friend Stowaway, and my other buddy Fatkid! wow what an amazing trip...I must say it was a trip of a lifetime for that i will never forget! I am forever hooked on salt and cant wait to find an opportunity to get back out again!

It started off with an amazing morning with a beautifull sunrise!



while out with good friends! (Fatkid)



enjoyed lots of sun on a beautifull ocean!



Oh and lets not forget that I caught my First TUNA!!! what a blast! oh and yeah you better believe I chomped down on that heart!



What a trip and again a MILLION thanks to Tracker and Stowaway and Fatkid for helping to get me out! I will never forget that trip and now I am hooked forever! cant wait to do it again!

Welcome to the dark side Eric. Thanks for getting us out there Tracker.

Hopefully we can do it again this weekend. I start a firefighting academy next Sat, so this weekend is my last chance.

Any captains out there looking for a couple hard working crew members to pitch in on a trip this weekend, just say the word.

BTW Eric, I found your hat in my truck. Since it don't fit I thought I'd let you know.

Next trip will be even more memorable......anything more than 3 atleast. Glad you had a good time. I know Dave wants to get you out again so you can see the real deal. And with his 3rd place podium finish last week at the OTC you can bet the guy can put you on fish.

Great job on the tuna. And I too Thank you for your service to our country.
Hope you find a ride out. I don't think it will be this weekend tho. The wind machine will start and keep most of us off the pond if not all.

Congradulations of your first Tuna and a great one at that. I got my first last year. Down here there still over a 100 miles out. I still got hope.

Thanks For Your Service.
