WELL THATS JUST ABOUT ALL IT WAS, LEFT CAPE MAY AT 3 AM MET BEAUTIFUL SEAS . MADE THE 60 MILE TREK WITH NICE COMFORTABLE RIDE. LONG STORY SHORT GOT THE FIRTS ROD OUT ,ABOUT 450 FT LONG RIGGER, BLUE AND WHITE ISLANDER WITH LARGE HOO, STARTED TO SET SECOND BAIT WHEN THE FIRST ROD STARTS SINGING, OK EVERYONE IS NICE AND CALM NOW, START SLOW TURN INTO FISH, GET ANGLER INTO THE HARNESS, HAND THE GUY THE ROD, JUST WHEN I START SAYING "DONT TOUCH THE DRAG", YEP HE HITS THE DRAG INTO FREE SPOOL. WHAT A FRIGGIN MESS, GET THE DRAG BACK UP BY NOW DAN HAS THE BOAT TURNED PRETTY GOOD SO I HIT THE THROTTLES AND MAKE ED REEL LIKE A MOTHER, WE MANAGE TO GET ABOUT 100 YARDS BACK ON THE SPOOL. SO IM CONFIDENT WE'LL BE OK. NOW WE START THE FIGHT AND ABOUT 15 MINUTES INTO THIS I SEE A NICE SCHOOL OF MAHI UNDER THE BOAT. SO WHAT THE HELL I THROW A CUT BALLY AT THE SCHOOL, WELL THEY DID COME TO EAT, ENDED UP WITH 3 NICE GAFFER MAHI. AFTER ANOTHER 45 MINUTES WE LAND A NICE 65" BLUE FIN . BUT THATS IT NOT A SNIFF FOR THE NEXT 5 HOURS. JUST BEFORE WE BRING IN ALL THE RODS THE PLANNER STARTS TO SCREAM , WELL THATS ALL IT DID, SOMETHING TOOK THE BAIT AND JIG HEAD RIGHT OFF, OH WELL , CREW WAS HAPPY , NICE RIDE IN . AND BOY IS FISHING EASY WHEN YOU LAND THE FIRST ONE EARLY.
