More info as it becomes available. So far, I hear the guys were fishing the edge of the Gulf Stream about 30 miles out. The found a mass of fish, and hooked up repeatedly, flew around on crazy sleigh rides, then broke off. It definitely wasn't scratchy!
Finally they figured out that they were putting too much wood on, backed off a bit, and landed the 166. Matt had it up to color in 20 minutes, but it wasn't ready to land until the 90 minute mark. This event marks a revolution in East Coast attitudes toward mother shipping and targeting offshore big game. Ric says they should be able to do this from spring through fall. They've got bluefin now, dorado (they call them dolphin fish) in summer, then yellowfin in fall. When I asked Ric what had taken them so long to get it on, he told me the problem was getting a charter captain to buy in. We could be living on the wrong coast.... |
