you just be careful over there, and get home on time.
this year's trip is gonna be great!

Brian I will just be happy to be on the boat with my friends the rest is all gravy. I just like yanking Bobby's & (Dave) Allison's chain

I do hope we get into a bunch of big YFT over 120lbs like last trip. I did have one ripping line off my Avet HJX raptor with 25lb of drag like it was a zebco 33 and it popped 80lb OTI braid. I want another shot at that fish on a jig this year. Sword or Big eye maybe we will see? Hopefully the wind will give us a break this year too it was nuts last NOV.

I like yankin' everyone's chain.....

I've taken note that you said "fished for" and not "caught" Bluefin tuna in N. Carolina. Maybe Richard and Fred will chime in here with pics of 400 pounders they have "caught".

You don't impress me either big guy .... hell I've seen Koty outfish you ... LOL



Don't think so Chas .... nope.



Yep and remember .... fish that get handed to you don't count.

Brian that was the baby of the school. I can't remember how many we hooked that day but it was at least 7 maybe 9 or 10. The boat's 4/0 with a half a spool of line on them were no match for what we encountered. Two of the fish hooked were fought for more than a n hour and were easily over 200.

The only other one put on the boat was (caught at the same time I caught mine) caught by James Wheeler (now captain of the Dolphin) and it went 186.

Sorry for the interruption of the sword fight, but short combined group TFF Catorce Tuna, and charter specific group emails sent to all involved. Please let us know if you didn't receive the email.
We now return you to the regularly scheduled amusement du jour.

Seems your wish has been answered.

David it's just started.

Well I've worn out my bank account over the last couple days.
A Stella, a Torsa and a Saragosa all used and in good condition and all this week.

Brian PM me if that Smith you mentioned on 360 is conventional and for sale.......don't let the wife know.

oh-oh, we did it again.

another tuna addict (or 2) has been created.
Its all over for you now.......

Yup .... looks like the old double whammy to me.

Tuna fishing addiction and tackle addiction = Tackle Ho

Sooooooo ......

What happened to that grizzled old trash talker I was so courageously defending the world against?

Is it too early for a countdown clock?
