Wicked Tuna stuff is easy!
 

Scored today with Andrew Marshall on the Typhoon out of Green Harbor. My biggest fish boated by at least 4X! 105" 900 pounds fight time = 80 min

Wow, what a catch!!!

Sweet buzz,,, what a fish!

Nice fish. How'd you get it in the boat.

Amazing ....

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:

So, normal cruising speed for Typhoon:love:

Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? :)

you looked a bit Fatigued when Typhoon threw the dart there Buzz

Honestly the video is what i want to see, real fishing not that yelling, screaming crying bull crap that goes on, on that show...

Loved evey min of it fellas, felt like i was there, eveb when hollywood buzzy had the poise adjust the camera angle knowing there was a slob on the othet end! Awesome!

Fear the beard!

Excellent job guys!

And Mike, that Hemmingway reference is classic.

:point: Struck a Pose :rotf2:

yeah that was Wicked Ballsy i thought!

but it shows how WELL Buzz trusted his GEAR

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.
