What a fun trip! A lot of laughs and a nice bite at 5 topped off by some mahi.

The Gambler is second to none for these trips, a clean comfortable and fast ride with a top notch crew. I have to give special props to sean the mate, who after i hooked a yellow and couldn't bring it all the way in due to a hellascious tangle, tried to hand line it in with his bare hands. He got it within 6 inches of a gaff shot when the line snapped. Nice try man!

As for the NJFishing crew, well, Most put in maximum effort and it paid off! A bunch of good guys who fish their asses off.

I'm off to do some vacuum sealing. Till next time....................

Good time with a great bunch of folks. I had one on in the initial shot. I was in the port stern and ahab was on in the starboard stern. Mine shot toward the starboard bow while ahab's went to port. I think mine caught the prop and pop went the weasel Ahab got his.

The mahi fishing was funny as hell with 24 peeps tossing weightless lines across each other. How we didn't weave a carpet, i'll never understand

When Bobby stopped halfway in, it was surreal. Here are some pics and a short video....

Capt Bob, Mates Kevin.Keith,and Sean of the Gambler are second to non.Landing 2 yellowfins is a great way to start the tuna season. Would have loved to see Jon Devin in his Kayack at one of those pots.LOL.

Another fun trip with a great bunch of guys. Capt Bob told us before we left the dock that the bite has been between 5am-7am. Keith started getting people pumped up around 4:30am to fish hard. We were prepared and Muldune started things off with the first hook up. He showed his experience by weaving his way thru a crowed stern to the corner where he got the first fish on the boat. I thought that a jig bite would start up and I wanted to be clear of the masses but there were no fish on the jig at this time. I went back into the fray and hooked up only to lose the fish. There was a great flury of activity and all the mates did a great job handling the fish and tangles. The weather could not have been better and the group was a lot of laughs. Thank you Howie for the hard work of setting this up for the groups enjoyment.
