Fished all over the ocean yesterday. Out front, SW banks, and out in the deep on some longline gear. Slow day. Lazy fishes… several nice INTERNET 45 pounders. Also a few RADIO 40 pounders. Saw several more swim up to the baits for a peak and go back home to the weedline. Didn’t want to eat. Had the world famous White Marlin Jimmy and Bannana Man on board. What an honor. Ended the day with 7 maui wowies. Tombo added to the total. Put Bannana Man on his first bronze fin of the season. It was a nice one. Had a grown fish spin a 50. Consensus was INTERNET 400 pound blue marlin. Never saw the fish. Had another fish lock up a Tiagra 30 I guess. Jumped off a rat blue marlin in the deep and saw another one. Fun day. Burnt Striker Mike levels of fuel.
Today had my two youngest nephews on board for their first trip. Had an absolute blast. They kept us busy. Fished next to Sailfish Ben of Jaybiz Fame. What a privilege to share his water. We followed him around all day like a puppy. Caught 7 good maverickos. Also captured two hawian onos. Crushed the AJs. We were on fire. One after the other. Ended the day with 16 according to nephew Josh. He ate a wahoo heart. NO LIE. Harrison declared war and captured 2 Barracudas. They were his favorite. Missed two sailing fishes. Oh well. Everyone else caught them instead. My nephews cranked all the fish but one wahoo and one maui that were doubles. Picked up at 1 and tried to catch a king. Sailfish Ben even gave me a secret number. They are too wiley for me. Thanks for that number BEN. Oh well. There is always next time.

All the results are being finalized, I had late entries that needed to be factored in, as well as new memberships, plus any weigh-ins from Bohicket. All of the info must be verified to make sure that all potential winning fish were caught by members.
I appreciate the help, fran… let me know if this info needs to be removed and I will delete it. Don’t want to spill the beans if they aren’t intended to be spilt.

No, not a problem at all, that is all public info. People report what they see/hear at weigh-in.
I just don’t want people to think they wiil win or not win based on what they see or hear.
Not everyone gets in the twt’s, and folks who think they might not get anything, actually do. Happened at the last tourney, and has happened at many others.
This one might take a bit longer to determine, because we must verify all members, not just boat owners. All anglers need to be members also, and I had several sign up Friday eve.
We do understand out of town folks, with the time it takes to get here, and fuel prices to drive here all that way for nothing.
hang in there, we are doing the best we can. i still have membership info to deliver.
CARLA DEE where you find that fishing changing thing at ???

Right click on the pic, and you can save it.
Just do as NG suggested. You are the 12th person to ask for it.
