Scarborough areas and Portland have fish, the bass will be moved out into the bay within a week-10 days. There's a good number of fish around already so Maine should see a good season as they continue to show up.I'm hoping to see a decent push of bluefin tuna late June as they pass through...will keep you posted on reports.Please feel free to shoot me a…See More

Thanks John. I'll let them know. Molly has one of these tunas. She loves it. Oh...I don't have any other photos from different angles. You can purchase one from me directly - I'll have it up on my website soon, but most thus far have simply send checks. You can have it on approval. If you don't like it, you have a few days to let me know. Are you ever in the Portsmouth area? You can always stop by and take a look at one.
