Returning to Tarawa from Nonouti we brought two friends to the capital. Uakeia is a great fisherman, and was delighted to catch this nice tuna and a few other fish by trolling on "Arctracer." He used a huge lure given to us by Jerry's father when we were in the Caribbean. This may be a Bigeye Tuna but the Yellowfin Tuna is more common and looks almost exactly the same.
