On July 30th skipper Adrian Molloy of tuna.ie had the first bluefin tuna of the 2021 season on “Deep Blue”. A very fine fish estimated at over 700 lbs.! Since then some more fish were caught on “Deep Blue” including another great tuna with an estimated weight of over 650 lbs. and a straight length to fork of tail of 267cm (101 inches).
Skipper Michael Callaghan of Wildatlanticwayangling also reported the first fish of the season with three fine bluefin to the boat on August 1st followed by more tuna on the following days.
Killybegs Fishing Trips also kicked off the 2021 tuna season with a cracking fish for Anietra Hamper who’s done exceptionally well in bringing a fine 630 lbs. to the boat in what only could be described as terrible conditions. Well done Anietra!
