Big fish, little boat
My son Leo and his Ma Maritime buddies been putting fish in the truck fishing in 22’ - 26’ center consoles.
Quite a few 100 - 105 inch fish.
Biggest one so far, just a bit short of a grander.
112”
973# whole fish
780 dressed

Ah, to be young again! Nice Leo! Quite a feat to land multiple bigguns on those smaller CCs.

They snuck another 100” one in before the Quota closure for September.
They got a few weeks off till October quota opens it back up
October, November & December catching giant tuna in a 22-25’ center console.
Not sure if it’s nice to be young or they are nuts 
He also just landed a permanent gig as 2nd engineer on a 900’ tanker that runs the NW, Alask-California
Pretty sizable bump in pay on top of his 6 figure salary from 3rd engineer. |

So you are saying he can afford to charter your boat for those three months, or put in the downstroke for his own offshore rig....

He’s got a 22’ Shamrock straight inboard center console now.
Most of his Ma Maritime buddies have 20something foot Contenders-23’ Potter Sea-Crafts, 27’ Conch…… boats.
He’s looking to upgrade from the Shamrock.
I told him to find a 26’ Cape Codder with a straight inboard diesel.
He can afford whatever he wants. |

Pretty good fall for him & his MM buddies putting fish in the truck.
October quota over.
He left yesterday for a little vacation with his girlfriend in Hawaii
Next week he’s off to the next chapter as 2nd engineer on a super tanker for 75 days +- that runs west coast, California-Alaska.
Pretty good life for a kid 24 years old. |

I put a $1000 deposit on a Shamrock 1989 - 90 ?
Then the bottom fell out and I was standing in the unemployment line !
