Nice fish! Congrats.
Killed a 615# blue in a tournament in NY in 1986. Overall winner and took full calcutta. 28 grand. Had won a tournament one month earlier with 5 bigeyes, biggest 205#. Caught first bluefin trolled for the season -480#. Sold fish for peanuts because of lack of fat. Total earnings/winnings-40 grand. Blew port engine one week later. Total expenditures for whole season-40 grand. Awesome season but saddest season of my life killing all those beautiful fish just to break even. Hard to make a living fishing tournaments and pinhooking! Sold boat and went to Med school. Now have no boat, rarely fish, and live vicariously through y'all. SAD. Killed billfish and bluefins, but got tired of being a hypocrite calling myself a sportie while selling fish. I have to admit it's fun to watch 'em swim away now. I do like the taste of pumpkin now and then though.
Nice work guys.
