So RR how are the the raiders doing this year,are you matching there record to?
stiff tip,the vessel I was on was wider that your dingy,so ease up.
This Capt'n who owns the vessel I was on is a very seasoned one, and knows better than to let anyone poach from his boat.....nor would it ever be anything I would do! If you watch ESPN you might see him and learn a thing or too............
I too have learned a thing or two in my life.....One of them is,"If you have nothing positive to say don't say anything at all".
Look IM not going to chase this thread into the ground. I have fished & been around long enogh to know & always do the right thing.NONE of you where there so you can guess,speculate & cluck like Hen's all you want I gave you the facts to measure with & if that's not good enough than thats just too bad...Go chew some fat else where.
God love ya

What the hell does the fact that the Raiders suck have any thing to do with the fact that you gaffed a short fish !!!
Those coments about the Raiders & the size of the vessel you were on, are as dumb as you posting the pics on the internet for every one to see!!! (any chance you think some of the people who seize the boats and hand out the fines may lurk on the internet !!!
You said the mate thought the fish was about 45 lbs, that makes it about 40 - 42 inches,
A keeper (47 inch) tuna will weigh over 60lbs !!!
I've caught enought of them to know the size of them by looking!!!
The fish should have been hauled in by the leader of the rig you were using or netted , we do it all the time!
But just a fact, you DON"T use a gaff unless you know it is legal and you plan to keep it !!!
