View Full Version : Big fish, little boat Raider Ronnie 09-12-2022, 09:34 PM My son Leo and his Ma Maritime buddies been putting fish in the truck fishing in 22 - 26 center consoles. Quite a few 100 - 105 inch fish. Biggest one so far, just a bit short of a grander. 112 973# whole fish 780 dressed Guppy 09-13-2022, 03:58 AM Wow, that’s a beaut nightfighter 09-13-2022, 05:43 AM Ah, to be young again! Nice Leo! Quite a feat to land multiple bigguns on those smaller CCs. Slipknot 09-13-2022, 03:38 PM NICE! Quite an accomplishment Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Got Stripers 09-13-2022, 03:40 PM That’s a lot of sushi Moses 09-19-2022, 01:43 PM Wow! t.orlando 09-19-2022, 07:26 PM Awesome Raider Ronnie 09-20-2022, 06:38 PM They snuck another 100 one in before the Quota closure for September. They got a few weeks off till October quota opens it back up October, November & December catching giant tuna in a 22-25 center console. Not sure if its nice to be young or they are nuts :jester: He also just landed a permanent gig as 2nd engineer on a 900 tanker that runs the NW, Alask-California Pretty sizable bump in pay on top of his 6 figure salary from 3rd engineer. nightfighter 09-20-2022, 11:22 PM So you are saying he can afford to charter your boat for those three months, or put in the downstroke for his own offshore rig.... Raider Ronnie 09-21-2022, 02:44 AM So you are saying he can afford to charter your boat for those three months, or put in the downstroke for his own offshore rig.... He’s got a 22’ Shamrock straight inboard center console now. Most of his Ma Maritime buddies have 20something foot Contenders-23’ Potter Sea-Crafts, 27’ Conch…… boats. He’s looking to upgrade from the Shamrock. I told him to find a 26’ Cape Codder with a straight inboard diesel. He can afford whatever he wants. Clammer 10-29-2022, 06:48 PM Damn balls to the walls for him :rolleyes: Raider Ronnie 10-30-2022, 08:34 AM Damn balls to the walls for him :rolleyes: Pretty good fall for him & his MM buddies putting fish in the truck. October quota over. He left yesterday for a little vacation with his girlfriend in Hawaii Next week he’s off to the next chapter as 2nd engineer on a super tanker for 75 days +- that runs west coast, California-Alaska. Pretty good life for a kid 24 years old. Doover 12-30-2022, 11:29 AM My son Leo and his Ma Maritime buddies been putting fish in the truck fishing in 22 - 26 center consoles.
