Big Blue
 

Here is one that may interest you offshore guys. A nice blue taken recently locally on a 50W/stand up. A friend took the video. It is a bit long, but flash to near the end when they are reviving it and roll it upright and you'll get a good look at its size. They got a #100-150 sword on the same trip for good measure.

Great fish, any estimates on weight?

Nice video and C&R. Like that screaming 50!

Yeah Keith posted that on another site. They been having a great year in the canyons

WOW
that's awesome
quite a fish
gotta be a real treat catching those fish:uhuh:

Sorry, I haven't checked out this site in little while. The blue was 125 inches straight length lower jaw to fork which according to the online estimator shows it at 680. It was quite a battle. Pulling the boat this weekend. Bummer.

amazing fight and catch. funny I work with a Keith Lane from E. Sandwich who keeps a boat in Hyannis marina. I was starting to think he was keeping things from me.

Love these Go pro HD cameras.

That's funny! I'd like to meet this other Keith Lane... I expect he's doing the name justice and putting some fish in the boat!

LOL. He is an ex coast guard and a captain, he runs harbor cruise's , sight seeing, and burial at sea stuff. Tourist type stuff usually, not really a fishing boat per say. Pretty sure he kept old boats name of Liberty on his new ride.

GOD I love that SOUND!!! I swear the only reason I go out there to fish is to hear the sound of a big game real scream, there is nothing like it.

Amen Jim.

I don't even grab the rod often. I'm the end game specialist :D:D but I love that sound!
