    Gaffing - Enjoy

    I stumbled across this and thought I would share. I can't figure out if this guy is lucky or good?

    You know, I'm never surprised by guys like this. I am reminded by one incident when I had the pleasure and privilege of fishing with Steve Zuckerman in a Tuna Club (of Avalon) light line Albacore tournament. We trolled and baitfished for Albies using linen line and I can remember Steve fighting a nice one for about 10 minutes. As the fish finally came to the surface one of the other team members brought the gaff. Two misses on a nice fish using basically toilet paper for line prompted Steve to grab the gaff out of his hand and gaff the fish himself in one fatal swoop while holding the rod in his other hand. Not one ounce of hesitation or wasted motion.....truely impressive. Note; Steve has a huge history of light line records of Black Marlin and Swordfish. One of his records can be seen at the entrance of Melton International Tackle (corporate office above the tackle store).

    I'm going with really good. It seems like it was the same trip and there is no way you hit so many shots like that and not be a guru gaffer.

    I think you are right. You can hit one, or two or get lucky and get 3 like that. But this guy is just an artist with the stick.

    I think anyone who has spent time in the pit of a big boat would really appreciate this video.

    The thing that gets me most, is they are laughing and having fun the whole way through. For me, that's what its all about today. Enjoying myself and not taking it too seriously, but getting the work done.

    When that happens the meat always seems to pile up or the shots at the bills come.
