Some Northern boyz of Summer (this very short summer we suffer with) left the docks up north recently (with fuel bladder secured) and headed for some YFT (and hopes of just one WAHOOSKIIIII!) and similar action in the Northeast canyons. One way = 200 miles!
After arriving in the afternoon, the action was kinda slow so as they continued the troll (all plastic - remember, these are Yanks) they began preparing for possible night Swordfish bite - they were not going to be skunked!.
At 3:00 p.m., with the YFT troll rigs out, a Shimano 30 Class Wide with Hi Vis 50lb Mono on Shimano Tallus started cooking and screaming. "It is a GIANT BFT!!!!"
These boyz, mostly experienced boat handlers, took their battle stations and over the next five hours they took back - gave up - took back & gave up - this lasted until dusk and beyond. They were sure it was a giant mother ship BFT.
They finally got the color BLUE! BUT . . . .
NO - NO - NO, it was an unexpected guest, the man in the Blue TUXEEEEEEDO - the Grand El Fuerte MARLINO himself - which they estimated to be 1,000 lbs or better. For you metric snobs, that is almost 500 kilos!! They finally got him aboard and here are the pics.
Congrats to Luigi of LD Marine (this kid makes killer titanium squidbars and a lot more!) KingCrab, King Neptune and the "other guy" on board. Needless to say, they never got to the swordfish bite, they were too pooped to pop after the man in the Blue Tuxedo arrived.
