Dual screws

Just the screws. The fish would go forward and slack off, once he was on the bow of the boat it was just a matter of getting him to lift his head and quit digging, which was a lot of what you heard with the throttles. Tye is an awesome captain and I doubt that without his knowledge of running a BIG boat that this would've been achieved. It was definitely a team effort between the angler and the captain. An amazing feat that I was certainly blessed to be a part of.

The Ride Home

yep it was fun till i got bounced off my bench

At least 2 foot between you and the bench. And Ol'Fred just kept on feeding us. Great trip.
I'm kinda itching and twitching. Must've been that bite of the heart I ate. But I'm wanting to catch another YFT.

I'm good Jon thanks for your concern... I just bruised my casting elbow and lower back when I pancaked on the deck. It did not feel good when I tried to cast overhand so the YFT were safe from me.

If you use your imagination, you can see Billy lifting off the seat!



And yes, Billy did survive. A little wiser to be sure about sitting fore during rough seas!

That's the ride in that I remember. I feel really blessed that we moved the trip departure date up and that we had such great fishing weather. It really deteriorated quickly on the ride in. Wouldn't have wanted to be out there chunking that durned Halco in that slop.

Don't be pickin' on Billy now.







That's my job.

Brian.... and those darn CUDA!!!!!
