My older brother Gerald took me with him on a 14 day, long range fishing trip for big tuna. We were aboard the vessel American Angler out of Fisherman's Landing located in Point Loma, San Diego California. We were at Clarion Island several hundred miles south and west of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. We were two hours from starting the trip home when I landed this 232 pound Yellow Fin Tuna. I tangled with this fish for well over an hour. This is by far the biggest fish I have ever landed. This fish fed my family and lots of my friends. None went to waste.
