Underwater Video: Huge School of Tuna Off Block Island

While fishing off Block Island last Thursday, Aug. 26, Todd Mackechnie says he encountered the largest school of tuna he’s ever seen. Todd was checking his 2D sonar and observed what he thought was a massive bait ball. But come to find out, they were huge schools of tuna.

He put a GoPro underwater and captured hundreds of them swimming together in beautiful blue and clear water. Todd says the tuna were pushing water and corraling bait all day. “Haven’t seen anything like this since the 90’s off Block.”
