We were heading back from Tillies to the Merrimack, after a great day of haddock & cod. It was about 6pm, the water was calm as a vat of milk. We had just past Cape Ann straight out from the Anasquam. A Tuna about 200lbs in size busted out of the water about 60 yds to the port landing on some chopper blues on the surface. When she hit the back into the water blue's busted out in different directions. (Awesome Sight) We had nothing rigged, we shot over, an ended up picking up a blue on some plugs and not the Tuna. It was a a quick, but nice sighting. It was a good rush to see at the end of a good offshore run.

Sounds awesome. How far offshore was the sighting?

No more than 3 miles to closest point, Not to far from Thatchers Island.
