Finally got back on the water after what felt like a never ending boat work stint this spring an early summer. Rebuilt a mini panga to completion an did extensive motor work on my bigger panga. With everything running the way I wanted it finally, I slide a few miles offshore to poke around at all this insane fishing I been missing out on 😂 luckily I was greeted with exactly what I had hoped for. Bluefin tuna. Oh an Mr. Elvis who swam directly up to my bow an scared the shit out of me! He didn’t wana play though an I had nothing to stick him with. There’s something about being able to do 100% everything yourself an then being able to run offshore an put fish in the bag. I wouldn’t trade the hard work an lessons I learn doing this for anything in the world no matter what people think. Running home that night with a cold @coronadobrewing in hand I couldn’t help but feel extremely satisfied with life. Thanks to all my friends an family who are always there to push me harder when I question myself or something I am working on. Also thanks to the man @jamestull for always being down to come on my last minute send missions an capture the moments I cherish. #fishing#tuna#swordfish#foamers#mcgager#saltycrew#findrefugeinthesea#panga#spinningrodsarepainful
