Chasing Giants: The Tuna That Almost Got Away
There’s nothing like the open ocean before sunrise. The salty breeze, the rhythmic slap of the waves, and that wild hope that today might be the day you hook a legend. That’s exactly where I found myself two weeks ago, 10 miles off the Pacific coast, chasing tuna and wearing my lucky OPW tee. The trip started like any other. Rods rigged, sonar humming, coffee steaming in a stainless mug. We spotted movement near a kelp bed around 7:00 AM. Birds diving, water churning—classic signs. I cast out a deep diver, tightened my drag, and waited. Seconds later, my line screamed. It was chaos. The rod bent like a bowstring, the reel whined, and my heartbeat matched its rhythm. I tightened the harness and braced against the stern. This tuna wasn’t giving up easy. For over 40 minutes we battled. Every time I gained line, it took more. My back burned, arms cramped, but my OPW tee clung to me like armor. Then I saw it break the surface—a Pacific bluefin, massive and gleaming, easily over 200 pounds. Just as we prepared to gaff it, the beast surged. One final run. Snap. Gone. Silence. Only the creak of the deck and the ache in my arms remained. I collapsed, laughing. We didn’t land it, but we fought it, and that’s what matters. That’s the wild we wear. Learn more about what OPW stands for. Fishing isn't just about the catch.

Why Getting Outdoors Is the Ultimate Power Move (and How to Look Good Doing It)
Let’s be honest: the algorithm has you in a chokehold. Between doomscrolling, group chats, and “one more episode,” it’s easy to forget there’s a whole world out there that doesn’t ask you to log in. That’s why stepping outside—even for a weekend—isn’t just a reset. It’s a rebellion. And if you’re going to rebel, you might as well do it in style. That’s where we come in. At Outdoor Pride Wear, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between function and fashion. Our gear is made for movement, inspired by nature, and designed for people who want to look like they know where the trail is—even if they’re still Googling it. Need help packing?
