Me too TT! That's when us outboard centerconsoles have the advantage. We had epic chunking at OI about 5 years ago with limits of 60# tuna day after day.

Chunking can be a blast...
I remember fishing with Kenny Sexton a few years ago chunking, there were hog yft's busting all around the boat. We worked our butts off cranking in all 60 - 70 lb class tunas non stop.
3 YFT over 60 lbs per person... That's a LOT OF MEAT.....
The only problem with chunking is doing the DOSEY DO, or as I call it the TUNA DANCE. Everyone dancing around following the fish around the boat, over, under around each other... What A Blast...

Several of us are going to be down there next weekend. I'd definitely be up for a chunking trip. If the weather cooperates, we will leave Thursday afternoon and be available to fish Friday and Saturday. Going out on a charter on Sunday. I believe Terpheels and several others have plans for next weekend as well although I can't speak as to whether old Terp will consider going to the dark side[grin].
