My giant experience yesterday

[kilsong]

I saw some guys jigging 50's when we were fishing for Bluefin at Oregon Inlet in March.....and I laughed and laughed and laughed. I wish I had taken a picture because I could use a good laugh tonight.

Jim, actually there is a guy who is a regular on the Helen H.
He jigs all night with Penn 50SW nonstop and catch lots of yft.
But I am very curious why he has to use heavy 50.

Some might wonder how the giant was lifted. Here are pictures how we did.

Thanks for the reports & congrats!. Great pics - you should send those shots of hoisting the fish in to Seavee. I've seen that boat at the dock - it's a beast & nicely laid out.

What's your feeling on the front cuddy vs an open bow when popping for Tuna (obviously not this class fish) - do you feel it gets in the way much not be able to fish the bow, or not?

Great report Kilsong. I liked the followup as to how you got that fish in the boat.

I love seeing fish hanging from the side ov a boat like that. Especially a CC. Great report and pretty work on the beast.

Kil that is some nice BF there my friend, surprised your jigging rod didn't jump over when that baby came onboard... It was different seeing you on a 130 buddy.I do think a fish of that size would do as you said ,spool you quick.Nice pics and I too was wondering how you got that on a small boat.I will be w/Dom next week and can't wait.Are these fish where you and Dom fished last week generally?Thanks.
