halloween swan song /mixed bag lots a meat (http://www.jennyleesportfishing.com/blog/index.php?/archives/228-halloween-swan-song-mixed-bag-lots-a-meat.html)
http://www.jennyleesportfishing.com/blog/uploads/hirsch.jpghttp://www.jennyleesportfishing.com/blog/uploads/halloween.jpgcapt's kevin gerrity and dave bender took long time customer joey dah fish zagorski along with steve shrimpman hanstein, tim sven of the hook wittig, todd hirsch of ocean and paul double hoops of idaho.. idaho?
joe wanted to do one last trip and todd had been cancelled several times this season so they twisted my arm to go, i honestly didn't want to go due to some recent bad weather and slow fishing but they insisited. i texted joe the evening before that we would troll a bigeye, and hope for the best. we arrived at the canyon at 2:30 october 30th and by 3:30 the shrimpman was hooked to a nasty bigeye, we thought the fish was going to be at least 200lbs as we were on him for over an hour, using the boat to plane him up. big steve did a fantastic job as did todd, and joe. i kidded with kevin on the way out that i wanted to hear his signals one more time yelling from the cockpit " ahead!" well we stuck the gaff into a nice 150pound bigeye and in my book it was already a great trip. we set up in sloppy conditions..wind against the tide..and caught a longfin right away. sometime latter that night we had a swordfish in the boat as todd did a great job whipping him.the rest of the night was pretty slow as we released a small sword and lost another nice one, we waited for the dawn bite only to catch one more longfin. we went back on the troll looking to close the season with one more bigeye but all we could manage was another longfin.. release ##%%&&
it was a very trying season as we had good fishing in july and august until the wind howled in september forcing us to cancel most of our trips. i can't thank joey enough for taking the last shot at going offshore, we absolutely love being on the edge and putting our friends and customers on the big fish. next year will be our 16th season and we would like to thank all of our customers, suppliers and peers for once again making the offshore experience amazing.
best of luck to all fisherman and women in 2014, happy holidays, and god bless
