On January 3, 2004 I was Blue Fin Tuna Fishing 25 miles east of the Beaufort Inlet. We hooked a large Blue Fin Tuna using a Penn International II IGFA 30lb class (15K) 1560 ARA mounted with a Penn International II 30tw reel.
I gave the rod and reel to the angler, Wayne Hoskins for a wall mount keepsake.
