WOW, THAT MAN CAN NOW DIE IN PIECE - THE CIRLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED......

:p :p :p

Before we invoke the name of you-know-who, was the guy fishing specifically for them? Or just one of those yearly freak catches?

You're right, he was after bass with mackeral for bait:( So what? he caught and landed it and that is really something.

How ya been Jaiem?

Is that Hi Patrick for me...

sorry, nope different one.

WOW
 

Thats is pretty amazing and things like this are what brings us back after a night of being skunked.

Also, I think that maybe the new record for a tuna being caught from shore the only other one I have heard of is

On October 30, 1986 Dan Colli hooked and landed a 68-pound yellowfin tuna on a Spofford Ballistic Missle while casting for bluefish.(Source-Striper Hot Spots)

Imagine the fight he must have had with that fish on a surf rod. He should submit that pic and story to Sport Fishing magazine....

Hi Slip! (and all)

Been busier than a one-legged man at a butt kicking contest. ;)
(heard that in a flick one time, thought it sounded good)

I totally agree, a good catch. Was just curious if he was after them specifically or a by catch.

BTW, I was on an overnight in the Hudson Canyon last weekend. A group of 4 anglers we had 9 yellowfins, 6 longfins, 3 dorado and released 3 brown sharks. Attached is a pic.

Highlight of the trip was when I was fighting a yellowfin it made a long powerful run such that I thought I was into a real good one. When it came boat side we saw why - a chunk had been bitten out of it! We figure one of those big canyon makos had tried for an easy meal. :D

Good to hear from you again Jaiem. Sounds like a great tuna trip.

Flatts has a good article about Striper Mike's catch on his site: http://basspond.com/bpond_ubb/Forum1/HTML/000109.html
