@_aclassic_: ‘It was September 18th and we were in the gulf of Maine fishing out of Portsmouth NH. We were on anchor drifting live herring. It was actually my mom’s birthday who passed away. Only saying that because I had a seagull land on my bow and stay there. It didn’t care I was moving rods around or anything. (kinda like a sign type thing) never had that before. My buddy @hardcoreanglers had landed his fish who was also solo. With a big storm coming I decided to drift for a last-ditch effort. And I went off. I put the screws to it. I was running out of time but thankfully Larry was hanging around waiting so I wouldn’t have to go in by myself in the storm. The storm moved in fast, so he picked up my anchor for me while I was fighting. Then came and got all the footage of the end game and loading it up. I was smoked but after some fight I got the fish in as the sun was setting. Gutted it as fast as I could. Got ice packed in it and put in the bag. By that time the storm was on us. Blinding downpours, wind and big sideways seas. It was an insane wet, rough, dark ride in. The little 21.5 mako handled it although I was listing more than normal. We both deliver to the same buyer so we rolled in together and offloaded together. My @keepersonly fishing shirt and sweatshirts kept me warm even though I was soaked. All said and done we made it back around 11:30 PM for a midnight offload. Luckily my wife and my father came down to bring me dinner and help with the clean-up of the boat. blue fin tuna, 595 lbs gutted. 105 inches long Tackle - cms Chatham special rod with Penn international 80 2 speed Huge thanks to @hardcore_anglers (Larry) and @keepersonlyco who have been hooking me up and I’m a brand ambassador for them.
