 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

First Giant 80" 291 lbs
Thanks guys!!!
It was a long day with everything working against us, we stayed focused and didn't let all the negitive things that were happening bum us out. We saw a Blue Dog cruising about 75 yards east of us and 15 minutes later we got the hit with the rods facing west. At first we thought it was a Blue Dog, once it stopped pealing drag we moved the rod from the stern to "battle stations" in the bow. You could feel the power of the tuna moving the 130 to the front of the boat.
Since it was a money fish for Jason, I wanted the helm. I have no experience with reeling in a giant tuna and I knew I could run the boat. Team work and good communication got the fish to the boat.
Jason has a friend editing the video, we had two Go Pro's going, can't wait to see the finish product!

I owe a lot to PRBuzz for all of the tuna fishing experience he has given to me. Thanks to all the guys pointing me in the right direction!!!
