Here's the final 2 minutes where Dave is on the rod.

I'm not sure why individuals on these boards wanna stir up the pot - I just don't get it (???)

Again congrats on that beast!!!

It's called ASKING A QUESTION Allen. I'm sure you allow your students to ask YOU a question when teaching them, NO??????????

If you're looking for a profit tuna fishing...buy a boat.

A free trip, steaks and the trip of a lifetime sounds good to me.

Am I missing something here?

Anyway...last I heard the boys were hooked up again today.

Dave,

I don't think ANYONE is questioning your practices. WE just don't KNOW what the deal is. Speaking for myself, I ASSUMED the guys chartered the boat (or paid equal fares running open) just like they would charter a boat HERE for a normal tuna trip, for example:

Bluefin - Jig/Troll/Chunk - Up to 60 Miles...................... $4,195
Canyon: Overnighter .................................................. . $4,695 ***(July - October & Tutorials - $4,995)
(24 Hours - Troll & Chunk)


After talking to your friend Roger yesterday, I got the "low down" on how it's done. No harm, no foul.

Great job Howie, Jon, and Eric. I know that you all were excited and looking forward to this trip. I am glad that it exceeded the expectations. Congrats to all and to Dave and Paul for providing a trip of a lifetime.

Wow A trip and a fish of a lifetime for sure. Amazing that a fish like that can be caught on a rod and reel. Great job by you guys and thanks for sharing it here.


If you wouldn't mind, can you tell us the drill here?. I for one would love to know what sort of bait is used, anchor or drift, weight or no weight etc. Not that I would ever attempt this on my own, but it sure would make for some plauseable details when fabrcating Pop Pop fishing story for the kids.

Just curious how you can take paying customers on a commercial fishing trip?
