First tuna landed

Fishing aboard Big Game, Pete and Brian Bacon steamed to the offshore area known as "The Horns" Saturday to catch the first bluefin tuna landed this season, said Elisa Jackman of Snug Harbor Marina.

The fish weighed 97 pounds.

"There were tons of blue sharks there, and some threshers," she said.

Earlier in the week, her brother, Matt Conti, said yellowfin tuna had been spotted near Southwest Ledge.
