A question for you's about the legendary Billy Verbanis?

[BigSteads]

The man knew sharks like few ever did or will. I fished with him a few times and learned more than I could even compute back then. MY friends from Delware talked about him like he was a legend before he died. Now if you mention his name around them you better damn well have respect in your voice. Oh and he fished DEEP, VERY VERY VERY DEEP. I believe his matye Chris ran the boat for awhile after he died. Nikki who also ran the boat I believe shes in FLa. or somewhere south now fishing atleast she was lookin for a ride earlier this year.

Yea according the website she is running the boat with some Team Xtreme deal in FL.

the boat is now for sale 65000.00

I knew Billy and know his family. I fished with him many times for mako. He traveled deep.....deep for the giants. Maybe the mileage limit in the tourneys put a crimp on that style. Chris and Tom, mate billy, Billy V brother in law and nephew and others were aboard for the 632 mako. What a fish. We were king for 6 days. The fu%*(%^&ers caught a 900 + the next week. Those men had balls of steel and my respect..... His Legend Lives On !!!!!
