I will be getting the video up as I can. In looking at the replay of what I have on the two cameras, I have some great stuff, but I also have about 5 hours of the same old, blah blah blah kind of stuff.

To those that are unfamiliar with this whole gig, I will start out by giving you some background.




This trip was on the burner, simmering for well over 9 months. I am close friends with Captain Mike Marro and when the idea hit his brain last year, we ran with it to chart out the best time to go and catch some Giant Bluefin Tuna. Once the fishing window opened, the weather window closed. (As usual). So, we watched on a daily basis, evaluating bouy data and making the go/no go decision on a daily basis for the last month! FINALLY, the weather window showed an opening. We were no on! So, last Sunday, I made the trek to Clinton Ct to meet Mike at his house and then head to Cape Cod from there!
I left the house, kissed my wife and made my way on the first leg of the journey to the famed George's Bank. One of the top fishing grounds in the world that most will never get the opportunity to see.
We arrived at the marina in Stage Harbor as the boat was being loaded with 20 flats of menhaden, more ice than I have ever seen before, food, clothing, NEW Angler's Envy Chatham Specials, tackle, assorted gear and everything but the kitchen sink!
Before I get too deep in this, I want to take a moment to thank Capt Mike Marro, Tara and Capt Joe for welcoming me into their homes and businesses for the trip!
So, here is the first of many video's.



Background is set, rods are rigged and ready to go, bait is prepped properly, and the excitement is palpable.

Enloy!

OK, after working on this all day and having to purchase yet another piece of software, I was finally able to get the video into a format that would be acceptable for my iMovie editing program.
This is the first fish that we caught on Monday afternoon. I do not have footage of the final kill shot, but you will get a good idea of what we had going on there. I am a rather superstitious person and I really think the fish were camera shy so as these fights drew on, I shut them down and concentrated on the fish. Sorry, but we had to do what we had to do.
