talked to the crew
Talked to Jon and Marsten today they said it was an 4 1/2 hour fight on a 130 with 40-50pnds of drag. Dennis caught both fish and was great on the rod for both fish. They think the fish might have weighted closer to 900 because the bled and gutted the fish on the way in.

Thanks Everyone
Thanks again to everyone that shared in the excitement of our big day yesterday! There was a ton of comradery and friendliness at sea and it was great! Congrats to all of the boats that got in on the bite.
Nothing too crazy about the whole day really. Everything went as rehearsed....besides some serious endurance, work, exertion, and a little pee in a boot. Angler Dennis Meinhart had just finished battling a 400lb class fish 20 minutes prior when we had the big bite. The 130lb reel was dumped way below the backing until we backed down and gained some line back. Then the tug of war ensued. About two hours into it the fish rolled 150 feet behind the boat and thats when we really understood the fish's size. Dennis remarked that he thought he saw "another fish behind it" when Captain Marston Jones explained that "it was just the big fish's tail stretched out behind". Exciting to say the least! Couldn't get it to budge so the drag slowly went up. Until game over - mate Jon Meade (myself) hit it with the flyer. We had to get assistance getting the thing through our tuna door and a big thanks to the guys that jumped aboard to help pull! Enjoy, Jon Meade Last edited by Admin; 12-20-2006 at 03:54 PM. |
