500 Lb Bluefin - Hurricane Irene Special ;)

**johnnywalker** · 08-28-2011 10:35 AM

Decided to sneak one more day in before Irene and it paid off. Headed out with Dr. Brick and Peter Santini

Jigged up a couple Cod while on the drift & 10 minutes prior to pulling the plug (as the rain and fog was getting heavier and thicker offshore) the long Pogie got annihilated. Huge water swirl and action and on the second crash she inhaled the pogie and the 80 was screaming line going away.

50+ Minute tug of war and boat jockeying got her to the surface a short distance from the boat; First Poon shot bounced right back of her pectoral fin- ****! - "Thankfully" the dart stayed on the Poon and Santini sunk the second shot deep in her.

Great day on the water with lot's of laughs and an interesting fog and rain ride to Gloucester and back to Boston harbor to secure up the boat for the storm

Is Dr. Brick at heron way on the annisquam? He did a double knee replacement on my father a few years back and I thought I recognized him when fishing on another boat there?

I expect he is the same guy, he is a well known knee specialist, don't know about the Annisquam residence, I will ask him if he has a place there, he lives someplace else as his primary residence.
What is your dad's name, IO will ask him if he did your dad's knees.

You should have seen him gilling and gutting the BFT; just like a surgeon

Cheers

Sweet stuff right there! Looks like Dr Brick has come a long way. It was just a few short years ago that I guided on his new whaler on his first tuna trips
