We knew that Costa is huge in the freshwater space, but as we’ve moved into offshore fishing we’ve learned that their footprint is at least as large there. While they have gear dedicated to marlin, mahi and other species, I’m particularly enamored of their tuna repertoire, which includes four separate hats.

I am now a complete yellowfin tuna obsessive, twitchy over how long it’s going to take to get back and chase them again. They’re that cool, not least of all because they go crazy on the surface, corralling bait and tearing up the water. Since we’ve gotten back I’ve dug deep into every tackle, gear and location rabbit hole I can find, and I’ve also explored the lighter side of these marvelous fish.
