On a [tuna] roll

Looks as though the tuna are going to stick around a bit. I have heard two unconfirmed reports of bluefin caught from a kayak launching out of La Jolla. Sure would like to get the skinny on that. A bigeye tuna was caught Tuesday, adding to the expectation of a remarkable season. Go get 'em!
