This yellowfin was caught using advanced sonar, a $100k boat, $300 sunglasses, and primal stupidity. Proof that if you throw enough money and ego at the sea, sometimes it pities you.

This yellowfin was unforgettable… mainly ‘cause it rearranged my spine and turned me into a sobbing shell of a man. Hooked it full of confidence — 3 minutes later I was yelling “cut the line!” and offering it my wallet. By the time I landed it, I had heat stroke, early arthritis, and a newfound fear of Mystic Mac. #TunaByKO #DeckLookedLikeASlipnSlide #PrayedTo3DifferentGods
