Dammit....he had told me to call him for a trip too, and I got too busy to do so. Hindsight is 20/20. Congrats Monty, the seas have looked great for the past few days

Hey guys,

We went to the lump on tuesday & wed., both days turned out to be very productive. Tuesdays catch was 3 yellowfin, approx. 65lbs, 88lbs, & the biggest going 192lbs after he was bled(weighed him at the camp). Wednesday we caught one yellowfin that went 80lbs, 3 nice blackfin & a ton of beeliners. If the weather cooperates I plan on fishing a day or so next week, let me know if anyone wants to ride. Can someone tell me how to post pics, in the thread & signature both(buying my wheel today). I've got some good pics of the fish that I'd like to show you guys. What a day, the 192# fish fought till he died then dropped to the bottom like a ton of bricks. After he was on the bottom he was so heavy we couldn't move him, we actually thought he was snagged. We finally winched him up with the 50 wide.
