What a Day!
 

Absolutely gorgeous out there for our/my last trip of the season! Flat, no wind, blue sky.Water was chrystal clear. Got our cod. Saw a couple jumpers mid late morning near the dumps and Hill ###. An hour later saw some big fish jumping. Up and down, gone. Would have been a crap shoot to run and gun for them as their numbers weren't big. Calls I have gotten since I got in said nothing from east of Race Point and the Golf Balls to the double Ls. At least we got to see them, and I am very thankful for the day we had on the water.

And thanks to our skipper, TunalessGreg.

Gorgeous day on the south side too, got to see a couple jumpers and brought home 1 cod. By 11AM laid down totally calm.

Ross did you get my text?

Yep. Just left you a voicemail

i'll never forget...

one of my most sucessful fishing seasons
i had enough frozen fish to last thru the whole winter
and then the damned fridge died
but it sounded just fine
motor running perfectly
but the freezer part was off

by the time i realized it
it was way to late
i had to use it ALL as fertilizer :doh:

Apparently Wild Cat was the place to be for cod, pollock & tuna. Too bad my crew wasn't interested in the trip there after we left middle bank, decided to head south & east.

It would have been a nice day for a ride out to WC, I went farther out than ever before in my boat and ended up only about 8 miles SW of WC. Did not find/see anything but did jig up one barely legal haddock, then headed back in going south & west to meet up with you. There was no current or drift and we were hitting bottom with jigs only 5-6oz in 350 ft of water.

Ran over the NWC...saw a few fish on the way jump but they were skittish so we left them. Went 6 miles east of LL to where we boated a fish a few weeks earlier...Nothin.
Trolled behind a fleet of tuna boats on anchor chummin for giants for about an hour and a half...Nothin
Back to the NWC and then the dump..Nothin
Decided to run the buoys 3-5 miles off shore. Found the fish 3 miles off Thatchers. Gannets everwhere but could not get the fish to bite.
One antsy dude/buddy whinned until we moved on. Two hours later: friend of right hand man on boat with us hooks and lands 134" fish after 3 hour fight within eye sight of where we were.
:smash:

All and all it was a great day and good to talk to some of you guys on the radio.

Gorgeous day on the water. We were west of the BB, had one swing and a miss on a bally 20 mins into the troll.

Stayed there, went to figs, then inside to Nauset, Chatham, Crab, no fish sighted. Lots of porpoise, pilot whales. Got a few cod, sure beats work!

We lost a slob on Sunday after an hour. Snapped a 200 leader.

134" would smash Ken Fraser's igfa world record

[QUOTE=thefishingfreak;899177]Yup...

The world-record fish was taken off Nova Scotia in 1979, measuring 13' long and weighing 1,496 pounds.


That would be 132"... Haven't heard anything on this fish today. Where did they land with the fish? Any pics? Not pinning this on you, but maybe need to pull out the BS flag on your right hand man's friend...

Yup, you guys are right on the money.
I checked with my buddy and the skipper or his wife fat fingered the text. I guess it was more like 113" +/- and dressed out at 702#.
They were in over 500 feet of water, so probably around the Ups and Downs. Pic will hopefully attach

ohhhh nice one!

Yup. Real nice! Got me by just 91" that day......:uhuh:
