North East Reports and Discussion Thread, Kilsong's big fish in East Coast Fishing; Hi All:
I just heard today that two Blue Fin Tuna over 1K have been taken in the past ten ...
Nice fish. But I hope they don't refer to that as "fishing." It looks like several different souls took turns cranking on a hand operated winch made by Penn, attached to a flexible crane and propped up in a so-called rod holder. HARVESTING is more like it. It looks like the violated just about every one of IGFA's rules of the game. Of course, they weren't fishing for records - unless it was a record payment. But it is still a nice fish. However, everyone should look at it carefully for in a few years there won't be any left to look at - let alone catch, harvest, or whatever it takes to get them to the Tokyo fish market.
Dennis Braid got a 1200 lbs giant on standup yesterday.
And how old is Dennis Braid
Cool story, great pics, and a fish of a lifetime for most anybody.... appreciate the post, very cool.
I'm not to big on the rod holder thing, but to each his own I guess, but I sure would rather see guys give it their all and do this standup and without handlining..... still very impressive, and those pics bringing it into the boat.... wow!!! Pretty cool.
