Cool picture FF...:btu:....did not mean to hi-jack your thread.........it was.....ummmm....Hoopers fault! Yeah, thats it! :hidin:

Hope you get a site Dougie!:laugha:

That Pic is some cool!!! Chatham or what???? I whaled on a huge bluedog lst fall out past the pin, had to be 300#+, no tuna tho:(

"here's to swimmin with bow legged women":gu:

FF,
Wish I was in, crewed on a Newport Boat for a bunch of years, fishing Oak, and Snug, (we won snug in 1997 with a big blue dawg) lots of fun, but I hate the waste involved, even though Bio guys get em at OB's, the Blue dawgs get dumped after Snug... not a big fan of that, however I have no problems with bagging a mako or Thresher.. in fact we took a small mako last year that was hooked near the gills and bleeding profusly... no guilt about that one yummy!

"I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a man who's lining up to be a hot lunch."

All the fish in the OB Tourney is donated to the Boston Food Bank. There is a penalty for bringing in a Blue shark under 300 pounds. It's a good way to make sure too many fish aren't just brought in for the sake of bringing them in. 200 pound minumum for a Mako & Thresher to be weighed in.

FF,
What is that second picture? White, Porbeagle, Mako???

RR, thats still alot of wasted blue shark.....
Mako and Thresher I have no problem with that, theytaste great....

RIROCKHOUND, All of the meat goes to the Boston Food Bank including the Blue shark. I personally not a fan of blue shark, but I'm sure the people in need appreciate it.

Cool, didnt know that...
Snug still wastes them though :af:

2'nd pic is a mako.

i've actually brought a blue shark home to eat.
i gave most of it away to about ten different people who we're not aware of the rumors of how nasty they are.
i got mixed feedback from all of them.
one, a very good friend of mine said it was edible, but mostly mushy and tasteless.
the others, mostly friends from down on the dock, all loved it!!
i did not try it, but i'm sure if it's prepared in certain ways it can be somewhat decent.
the fish was gutted alive and packed in a canyon bag and filled with ice imediatly, so that probably preserved the meat.
as for one thats been sitting on a hot deck all day :yak6:

I was at the boston food bank on tuesday and they said they won't be taking any shark this year due to food safety concerns.
