Lightning does strike twice. Doubled up again and treated them to a boat ride to the dock. J.D. Payne and my son Stephen Cawthern did many trips around the boat with a pair of squirrely tuna. Well done guys you made it happen. 76 and 85 inchers.

Got the mojo back. Double header bluefins, 80 and 105 inches and back to the marina at 11:00. I believe the new line will hold them. Thank You TJ Davis,and Alex Hull for all your cranking and J.D. Payne, my trusty mate that helps make sure our stuff is right. Alex and TJ never had the pleasure or agony of giant fishing before and now have been a part of a rare double header, well done fellas. Fatty in the front row. 
Today was another fun day, despite the crappy sea conditions. Even with Mother Nature trying to hobble us while fighting the fish, the teamwork of Jim Mueller (Roaming Tuna Gnome) J.D. Payne, and a thankful me managed to deck one. Fish was 95 inches fork length, and cored out at 340 lbs. Happy Thanksgiving 
The happy crew. Joe Shute, your lures sure help with our quest. 
Looks like the roaming gnome catched a tuna. Thanks J.D. Payne for your work on the rod and Jim Mueller for your multi tasking. 89.5 inches. 365 Pound core. 
The guys did some catching today. Fun times with some epic ball busting. 
Early day today. Crew had more than enough groceries before noon, went looking for some jacks to play with and then headed home. Very good group to have aboard today.   Still some big cobia around. It was Jim' s first cobia. The Saltywater Tackle OBX 400 whopped it pretty well, along with a nice catch of gag grouper. 
Todays crew loaded up with some pretty triggers, beeliners, rainbow runners, creole fish, and other stuff. They should eat well for a while. 
Today's crew braved the sporty conditions and caught some bigguns. Team Old Bastards defied the overwhelming numbers of birthdays they amassed and got it done. Thanks guys, it was a blast. 
Jason Suter was a big help today as always. I am gonna miss him when he heads cross country. It has been fun  |
