Well as some of you may know I have had a bad time this summer with my health. So I have not been on the water in my boat since July.
But I have been feeling a bit better and with the help of a cortisone shot in the back I am pretty good theses days.
So when a friend said what I thought about taking my boat out to Stellwagon Bank for a Tuna trip I said sure lets go!!
So it was I, Bigbo, friends Kenny & Mark. We had some small engine problems (fuel related) but they did not stop us!!
So here is Mark reeling in the fish, Mark is a body builder and is like a power winch reeling this thing in!!
Fish was 60" about 150#
Bigbo did the harpooning
Kenny worked the leader and Mark the gaff and I did the cutting for the bleed.
The reward
I was the driver, and let me tell you that is no easy task with a missile zooming back and fourth in and out!!
It is all team work!! Everyone had there job! We were hoping for another as you are allowed 2 fish. But they all went down deep after the morning bite and we had no deep divers with us this day.
Here are some more random shots some from me some from CB
I have seen many whales out there before, but not as many as we saw today! At one point I had to stop a troll just to let a mother and her calf to go by us! It was great!!
Can't wait to go again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
