Two yellowfin tuna caught during deep sea, bait casting, heavy tackle, kite fishing, and drift fishing techniques in West Palm Beach, FL.

The sun beats down on the deck. Waves lap against the hull. A fisherman stands at the stern rod in hand. The line goes taut. A flash of yellow beneath the surface. The reel screams as line peels off. The rod bends double. A burst of spray erupts from the water. A yellowtail snapper leaps into view. Its scales glisten in the sunlight. The fight is on. Sweat beads on the angler's brow. Muscles strain. Slowly the fish tires. Victory is near.
