Canyon Runner 84" Giant Today W/PICS & Atlantic City Seminar - Almost Sold Out!!!

[Canyon Runner]

The crew started off 2009 the right way with a 84" bluefin hitting the deck on the 48' Canyon Runner. They had three bites within quick succession around 9am with the first fish coming off after about a 100 yard run, the second fish staying on hooked on a horse ballyhoo and Joe Shute lure and boated, and a third fish that ate a ballyhoo as it was dangling from the rigger while they were clearing rods fighting the 84" fish.

Also I just wanted to quickly remind everyone we are very close to being sold-out for the Atlantic City Seminar.

We have over 300 tickets sold now for our Atlantic City Seminar on January 31, 2009 but are still selling tickets so please call now if you are planning on attending.

We are offering a FREE squid spreader bar for any groups of 4 purchasing tickets together. So if you haven't done so please call the office at 732-842-6825.

Again once we hit 400 tickets we have to stop selling due to the capacity of the venue and they are not being very flexible on this. Below is some info on this year's event.

[John Rogers]

Great way to start out the new year. Congrats

[Robja]

Congrats on the fish.

[Nauti Natured]

Pretty work guys! I sure would have liked to see that Tuna jump up and grab the bally hangin off the rigger What happened to him? Did he come unbuttoned or did he never hook up?

[frankypettolina]

How many boats fished?

Good going on the fish- sounds like things are getting better 2 more days of winter break for me than back at it.

[Capt. Jon Tennant]

Nice job Mark & crew! looks like things are finally getting started up good... we were right in the mix today but didn't get the love, but the # of bites is encouraging.
