Slightly off topic. Yellowfin Trip

When you can't get bit a hand off is all that's needed to take the edge off. Sometimes you just have to break down and take one, again it's a pride/stubbornness thing, you just have to get over it...just don't tell anybody that you did though...

When the day comes you are the hotdog, make sure you give the hand off when somebody needs one. It could be me! !


...And yes I'm talking about fishing, not ugly fat chicks!

Yeah, that should have happened, regardless.
That's over 4 per rod on the whole boat, that's pretty good fishing, I'll take that count any day on an overnight or 1.5 day trip. I'm sure the hot sticks had 9 or 10 fish, that's when boat limits come into play.
Since you were the only skunkee, it would have been nice if somebody paid closer attention.
The crew should've noticed and gone out of there way to get you on a bent rod.
When I worked albie boats, it was a something we paid attention to, it's a great way to get return customers. It's one thing when they give you a fish at the end of the day, which is often a boat fish on the hand line, another when a crew member baits and hooks one up to hand to you. Not that they had to give you that fish, but it still resulted in $7 more for the crew, yet still nice you didn't go home empty handed.
