the miccio charter state record qualifier mako 926 lbs


http://jennyleesportfishing.com/gall...es//28/659.jpg


capts kevin gerrity and dave bender took the miccio family along with matt and nick for an overnighter on july 21.
we trolled all afternoon and landed a 35 lb yellowfin and three throwbacks. we sent up at night for mako's and swords and at about 11 the shark rod goes screaming. after about an hour and a half of backing down we had the fish gaffed boatside. that was the easy part, it took another hour and six guys to get the 12' 926 pound mako through the tuna door. fish of a lifetime to say the least





in closing, i want to say that my friend and co captain kevin gerrity deserves 100% of the credit for cathing this beast. he has waited 35 years for todays moment. every night offshore for the last ten years he puts out a shark rod, and every night i tell the customers, " we aint gonna catch no mako" kevins passion and persisitance has paid off today for a fish of a lifetime..i salute you cap you deserve this fish!!!!!

Congats, awesome catch, Nj Record Thresher was landed on my Topaz 2009 by Capt Jeff, previous owner. Must have been some fight

Can it be a record since the entire boat fought it?

Amen Dave,, miss u ...

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

Would "CaptainObvious" be a better name?. By definition, it's not a state record, or even a potential state record.

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

Kevvvvvviiiiiinnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!! Damn brother you guys did it all the way!!!!!!! Congrats to you and Dave See you in Oct

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

The gentleman is correct. It appears that
Because the rod passed hands to more
Than one angler it may not qualify

This shark did break the record however
We will have an answer todsy and accept
The results.

Thanks for the well wishes to all

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

I'm going to say it again...state record or not, it's an absolutely amazing fish and accomplishment! And I'll add that this is an accomplishment that 99.999% of the rest of the world has never done and will never do (whether it's a "record" or not)! Congratulations again!

congrats on a monster catch! truly a fish of a lifetime. just curious, assuming it's impossible to ice something like that unless you had a whale-sized body bag on board. was the meat still good when you got back to the dock? those would be some enormous mako steaks.

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

The meat was pristine
We came in immediately

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

Big Congrats. Awesome catch!

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

Congrats to both of you. Well deserved. Always glad to see hard work and good treatment of clients pay off. Best of luck the rest of the season. This one will be hard to top!

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

wish there was video of this fight! any chance? congrats!

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

I won first, second and third prize in 1989 Bahrs Shark tournament with a mako that that monster would swallow whole. lol

GREAT JOB guys!!

Re: jenny lee overnighter potential state record mako
 

Congratulations on a catch of a lifetime!
