Gambler 48hr. "Get 'em on the Gambler"
Just got back from one of the more productive trips in recent years. Bob took us to the Hudson's "notch" for a night anchor after starting with a drift in 72* bluish water. Didn't leave the green water 'til almost there. A slow pick of large (60-65#) LFT and like sized YFT. First night produced a slow pick of Yellows and a few birds. No life or weed. Bob suggested tiling and/or pot hopping around 11 morning on Thursday and while reeling in, I got hooked-up on another bird which prompted us to stay there as we were still reading shots of fish...Sometime the right move is no move...
 Wednesday night produced a very few free swimming Mahi, a released rat & 2 swords(65 and 125#) also. Thursday continued with the shots of fish as before and a truly "EPIC" 3+hr fight and ultimate win over a blimp-like eye ball scaling out around 245#.(used formula length(65") x girth(55") x girth(55") divided by 800. Was truly amazing as the rod broke-reel seat & guide section kind'a twisted-he had to keep aligning the sections, plus he said reel was a piece of s$#t-guy that hooked it gave rod to buddy after 20 min.- & had 40# test leader--unbelievable...Fish really did look like a blimp lying on the back deck!!!Last night continued with small shots of the larger yellows, then a couple of "football" shots came through being pushed out by 40-45# yellows being pushed out by the bigger ones...No life/weed Wednesday/night---Thursday PM a newly forming weed line & a few Mahi. At night, more Mahi & squid plus a Mola-Mola--only saw 1-2 blue devils on the trip, they didn't hang around...that was nice ...most fish caught on butters, squid when caught, then sardines. Only a handful caught on jigs. "toot-toot-toot" went at 5:30 this AM.. As usual, the crew--Greg, Chris, Todd, Alex and Zach(doubled as chef) were in their usual A-1 professional mode-always cordial & helpful with any problem & pleasure to fish with...the guys on the trip fished together like a team...They cleaned/loined fish for quite awhile, set up an assembly line to expedite the process greatly cutting down the wait time dockside... Fish totals: 2 swords, 1 huge Big Eye and 82 Y's & L's(about a 2 to 1 ratio Y to L's). Oh yea, 2-3 Skippys and a few 5-6# Mahi..hopefully, friends and family will be happy and freezers get filled..goin' out on the next 3 36's...see you next Wednesday... Chucky

Re: Gambler 48hr. "Get 'em on the Gambler"
If anybody out there wants to learn how to chunk tuna fish book a spot next to this man Chuck. Not only is this guy good at what he does he is also very helpful to others. At his age he stood at the rail for most of the trip. He is a true professional and a wealth of knowledge. Once again great fishing with you Chuck, Greg

Re: Gambler 48hr. "Get 'em on the Gambler"
Thanks for the accolades Greg, but it's quite a bit over-rated---got my start from my tutor, Muldune!!!!!and still learning...Lesson re-affirmed on this trip, don't tie knots when you're exhausted & don't focus...just might cost you a fish...right Greg?..
Hooked-up, I feel it's a 50/50 deal---hook pulls, that's fair---lose it due to your screw-up, that's 100% on you and I hate it when that happens...OK, school's out, got one more fish to steak...see ya'll next Wednesday...
