the miccio charter state record qualifier mako 926 lbs
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!!!!!
