COPRUS CHRISTI, Texas â Setting out 150 miles offshore, captain Justin Drummond and his crew got a bite from a bluefin tuna last week, one he says they wouldn t let get away.
âWe drive the boat around him trying to catch him very quickly, says boat captain, Justin Drummond. Then he sounded on us then it became that brutal epic battle that ended up taking 9 hours.
That battle began at around 9 in the morning. Captain Drummond says he missed the chance to catch something like this last year when they had already met the quota fish caught in the Gulf.
