3 teens catch massive 700-pound tuna after 7-hour ocean battle off Maine coast

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 15, 2020

When Wyatt Morse of Auburn named his new boat Fat 2na, it was a bold statement for the 17-year-old who has spent the past four years learning about fishing for tuna off the Maine coast. Over the course of seven hours, a monstrous bluefin tuna — it measured 109 inches from its nose to the fork of its tail — hauled the teens more than 10 miles in the 24-foot lobster boat as they attempted to tire it out and land it. It was Fat 2na’s first tuna-fishing trip, and provided an adventure the boys won’t soon forget.
