Catch of the day [Fishing]

[jordanscollected]

Thanks @Giles! Have you trolled behind Sakura yet?

[Giles]

Not yet. It will be something I have to do when P is somewhere else :-). I have the rods on board, I have the rod holders to install, and I am having some swim-platform staples made onto which the rod holders will be mounted....

PB northern today. 38”. Had another in the boat that was 36” and flopped into the water when I was measuring him. A third even larger that broke my line and 1 more that ran hard into the weeds and spit the hook.

What a day to hear the drag rip.

Saalim got skunked with his massive Muskie lures says, “I didn’t catch a fish and this was one of my favorite days on the water ever!”

[Giles]

VERY well done

[dinobarnesberlin]

Looks like you knocked em dead! bravo

[goosehd]

@Giles How is/was the fishing trip? Been quiet for way too long...

[Giles]

Fishing was amazing thank you. Got back and straight into a week's Coastal Skipper course. Now have friends from Spain and Germany staying with us.....

I did not post many pics of the fishing because I thought it may be boring, but here are a few....

@Giles that looks like an amazing fishing trip!! I'd love to catch some tuna on a little boat like that. I'll bet it tows you all over the place.

[Giles]

The boats are pretty heavy. This is a 942g fish that my friend Matt hooked (but was played in the main, by the captain). Took an hour to get in and they may have been towed around a bit. @Ian72 was on the boat, were you?

[WhiskeySandwich]

That's awesome. I'm sure it was a hell of a workout too! Good thing y'all were keeping hydrated.

[Mizmazzle]

@Giles there is nothing boring about these snaps!! Seeing those rods bend like that brings a huge smile to my face. Phew!! Sushi for dinner???

[Giles]

We had quite a bit of Sushi......

Are these Bluefin Tuna? I know very little about fish, but I've heard these are extremely coveted by Japanese Sushi chefs.

What would a specimen of this size sell for?
