Join Anthony DeiCicchi, Chris Megan, and Jimmy Fee on an epic offshore adventure when the crew sets out in mid-September to target bluefin tuna in the open ocean. Utilizing both jigs and topwater poppers the crew hooks into a plethora of beautiful and aggressive bluefin tuna. As thee crew reels in stunning bluefin tuna, they collect fin clips from each bluefin tuna. These samples are vital for Dr. Walt Golet, a leading scientist at the University of Maine’s School of Marine Sciences and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, who is conducting important research on bluefin tuna genetics.
