Tuna Tagging In the Tuna Capital

Catch and Release is seldom practiced. In Louisiana, there is a strong culture of “feed your neighbor, and everyone else”. People like to load the cooler, which is why the TX-LA Invitational Tagging Tournament became so special for me.

A Big Fish Story

Every angler has a good fish story.  Each time that story is told, the tale becomes a little taller, the details get a little juicier, and the legend lives on.  For Paul Ippolito, Mike Ippolito, Ron Roland, and Patrick Fitzmorris, what began as a Memorial Day fishing trip for blue marlin turned into a weekend they will never forget, a legacy to be passed down, and one unforgettable, big fish story!

TUNA TOWN, USA

When we say Venice, Louisiana is the end of the earth, we mean it. There is a Dollar General, a few gas stations, and two marinas that boast some of the most diverse and bountiful hauls in North America, most especially known for Yellowfin Tuna.
