: Circa mid 1980’s. One of my all time favorite photos….John Everett and Charlie Pravel are hooked up to 80 pound class bigeye tuna on 8 foot rods and getting punished…the bigeye unexpectedly came through in an albacore stop and all they could do was laugh about how much they were getting their butts kicked by the big fish on such long rods. If I recall correctly they both got their fish. What great fun we had!
