After a YEAR of waiting for the right window to return to one of the most incredible places I’ve ever dove, I boarded a plane with my dad, my brother, and my good friend Carson. The goal was simple: get everyone their first yellowfin, and for me, beat my personal best tuna.

But this trip turned into much more than that.

Between epic bait balls, whales, massive schools of tuna, giant fish, and moments I’ll never forget, this became one of the most incredible trips of my life. I hope this video captures just how special these few days were.
