Charleston, SC 8/1/09

Left Charleston at 600 stroking at 37 knots on the new 60 viking. God that thing is a rocket ship. Fished straight out and little north. Found some bait and worked it for a few hours. Caught a nice blue on a 30 with 80 lb leader. Girls first time catching a blue. Lets just say the cockpit turned into a washer machine with a few floating coolers and I think a person. Was very impressed how the cockpit was able to let the water escape rather quickly. After thirty minute fight grabbed the leader and popped her off. Hour later caught a sail and picked at the dolphin. Great day all and all.

Are you the Capt.? If not, are you, by any chance in the market for a reliable, non-smoker,non-drinker, thats good with kids, has run and worked as a mate on boats in the 50-72' range for the last 20 years and is accomplished in tournament fishing. If you are the capt, I appollogize, if your an owner/operator-wouldn't you rather be in the cockpit fighting fish.
Cheers,
Capt. D. Rogers
