When it begins to tire it circles around the boat. It's final fight is straight down in a small circle. You can feel the rod pumping up and down as you continue the fight to the boat. My favorite meal of tuna is blackened.
Of course you can visit Southern US Cuisine website for various Tuna recipes. They have a great selection of recipes.

* Turn the fillet over skin down then start from the tail and fillet towards the head to remove the skin
* Then turn the fillet over and cut down the center to remove the bones along the blood line
