With the way my Tuna skills are going, I don't think I could even net them!!!     |

				 | This use to happen on an annual basis years back, I remember reports of seeing giants very close to the shore in RI/BI sound in the late late fall.  Not this late but given the warmth, it is not all that crazy.
 This winter you could have stayed in all year.  If I had a dock, I would just get a bubbler and keep her in year round.
