Honestly, I have not been fishing much, but I had a line out yesterday. As dusk approached without any bites, the alarm I had set to retrieve the line went off. A good way to lose a rig is to leave it unattended overnight. When the alarm went off, I thought to myself that it\u2019s about time I caught a fish. As I reached for the pole, the strike indicator went off and the line started paying out uncontrollably. I put full drag on, but it hardly slowed down. I quickly heaved it to take some pressure off the line and I played the fish until it was tired enough to gaff. I had caught a Bigeye Tuna. Before the sun sat, I cleaned the fish, producing enough meat for several weeks. While I was working on the fish, I received a VHF call from S\/V Trinity, a much larger and faster catamaran that was about to overtake me. They wanted to know why I had stopped and offered assistance. I explained I had caught a fish. Their reply (in my best Australian accent) was \u201cGood on ya, mate. Cheers!.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aegir-ran.com\/?attachment_id=1702\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0826.jpeg?fit=225%2C300\" alt=\"{CAPTION}\" width=\"225px\" height=\"300px\" style=\"margin: 10px\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0826.jpeg?w=240&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_0826.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have not caught any fish since the Dorado I caught before crossing the equator.
