Boring is GOOD when you have a 900lb slob on the other end!

You mean clipping 2 anchor lines/balls, tangling fishing gear, and a great white in the vicinity wasn't enough drama? :rotf2:

Pretty fish guys. How did the quality look?

So tell me about the little davit? Looks like you had a nice block and tackle....pole just not heavy enough for 900?.....would have looked a little salty with a permanent bend on it:)

Great job guys I really enjoyed this thanks for sharimg

We did ok in Japan . Certainly not what the market was doing a few weeks ago. Yen is at 20 year low and as you said they rarely send 330 kg dressers to Japan. It ended up not going on the auction. The auction is a bloodbath with all of the maine , canadian and ICELANDIC fish. (yes Iceland). 100 fish from Icelandic longliners have been on the auction the last few days. Lot of fish returning $1 and $2 right now.

My micky mouse gin pole made out of fence post will handle fish up to 400 lbs. We lucked out in every way possible. I lost a big one 2 weeks ago and it was nice to get some redemption with Phil.

I have two chatham specials and the old school Penn 130 broomstick. The foolish broomstick is getting all of the hookups.
