Karen Lynn Nice Giant BFT !

[karenlynncharters]

I did an overnight recon trip to Southern Jefferies Tuesday night and Wednesday.

The good news is we got a 92" 550# Giant and we saw some 60-90# BFT just 4-5 NM's from Twin Lights. The fish gave us a really hard fight for an hour and a half as it's stomach was completely empty and we ended up 1 1/2 miles from where we hooked it.

The bad news is the fish are really spread out, so unless you have very specific and current information Southern Jefferies does not offer the same kind of concentrate of bait and fish that the Bank does. The Whales and the bait seem to be quite spread out this year. Captain Collin is out in the Karen Lynn today looking for more Giants so hopefully he will do post an update, tonight or tomorrow. For now we are going to stick to the Bank and maybe to the east for Tuna Charters.

Beautiful fish! We came across southern Jeffries on Saturday afternoon and there was a ton of life- porpose, whales, birds, slicks...it looked better than I've seen in a long time. We were about 4-5 miles south of Pigeon Hill.

Congrats on a killer fish!

Giant-idiot question

We use a harness in the canyons, and that's been fine on fish to the mid 200-s so far, but with these guys out of the gunnel, are you physically pulling the line onto the reel with the glove? that's what he looks like he is doing... Or just guiding it on...

both you cant get enough leverage to get line by just reeling so your hand becomes the pumping action in a round about way by pulling the line and guiding to stay even on the spool

Thats what I thought.
