Tuna Tournament Day #1

Today is the first day of the Tuna Tournament. The same Tuna tournament that we won last year with a 244 pounder. So far two of our teams have come back but no word of a big one from either of them. What we did hear was that a boat, not from our fleet, came in earlier with a 383lb Tuna. Might as well start drinking everyone. Ok, ok, tomorrow is another day.
