New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart hauled a massive yellowfin tuna off the coast of Los Cabos in Southern Baja, Mexico while on a deep-sea outing with friends and girlfriend Marissa Ayers, photos and viral videos show. Social posts sharing the footage circulated on Jan. 26, 2026, after a Los Cabos charter company published a slideshow of the trip.

Videos and photos posted by Los Cabos charter company Warrior Sportfishing Los Cabos show the swimsuit-clad couple posing with the catch, and a sequence of images of Dart in the fight. The charter’s slideshow included a slide showing Dart "gripping a fishing pole with one hand and flexing his biceps with the other" and another snap of him "in action, attempting to reel in something good." One image shows a shirtless Dart capturing content on his phone; the charter post noted the pair "made their romance Instagram official on January 9."

The clips drew rapid amplification on social media. Sports reporter Dov Kleiman shared video thumbnails and wrote on Twitter on Jan. 26, 2026: "𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Giants star QB Jaxson Dart and his girlfriend Marissa Ayers are on vacation in Mexico and caught a MASSIVE yellowfin tuna while deep fishing. Dart is winning on and off the field. 🤯🤯🤯 pic.twitter.com/lgoy69nE71" Kleiman posted a second tweet that same day adding: "This is awesome: Giants star QB Jaxson Dart eating a humongous tuna he caught with his model girlfriend Marissa Ayers. Dart is really enjoying the offseason 👀 pic.twitter.com/qnrB2jKrCe"

Lifestyle and sports aggregators captured follow-up detail of the on-board aftermath. Theredzone reported that "Dart and his girlfriend held up the big catch for a picture. Right after that, the crew began to eat it." Multiple outlets reproduced photos credited to Warrior Sportfishing Los Cabos as the primary visual source of the outing.

The outing comes amid Dart’s first NFL offseason following a rookie campaign in which he "was inserted into the New York Giants’ starting lineup this past regular season," according to sports commentary cited in coverage. One charter post listed Dart’s age as 22. Sports context included mentions that teammates Malik Nabers suffered an ACL tear and Cam Skattebo endured a season-ending injury, and that Dart "has had to deal with his own health issues regarding multiple concussions" during his rookie run.

Public visibility around Dart’s personal life has also increased: coverage notes the couple went Instagram-official on January 9, 2026, that they were first linked after an October 2025 Halloween sighting, and that Marissa Ayers was seen with Dart’s mother Kara at Gillette Stadium in December 2025. One source rendered her name as "Marrisa Ayers," though most outlets use "Marissa Ayers" and identify her as a model and a popular ring girl.

The charters’ photos confirm the catch as a yellowfin tuna but do not list a weight, length, or exact charter date; anglers and media will likely press the Los Cabos charter for measurements and a captain’s log as Dart moves toward offseason workouts and the next Giants training window.
