Yellowfin Tuna blitz, Panama
There some great photographs on this thread - http://www.big-game-board.info/threa...adid=1137&sid= - of big Yellowfin Tuna - off Isla Coiba, Panama - balling up bait fish - Blue Runners. And then they're catching them on specialist spin gear using big poppers and jigs.
In one shot the bait are bunched up so tightly against the hull that the crewman's scooping them out with a bucket!
