Default Setting the Record Straight

I have recieved several phone calls regarding responses to the video I posted. I was disturbed to hear that accusations were being made on this forum that we were illegally fishing over in the islands. Why can't people just watch the video and enjoy it? When you guys make accusations like this it affects my reputation and my job. We were not fishing in the bahamas! The fact that we caught Yellowfin made for good advertisement because that is what we catch when we do go over there. Please ask me for the whole story before making accusations next time. Our fishing that day was meant to be a Dolphin/ Swordfish Trip In the gulfstream. As we ran offshore we found the schoolies about 23 miles off Boynton Beach around 11am. After stopping for a brief lunch break we continued trolling weedlines for the rest of the day with only more sattered Dolphin bites with a nice one on the Downrigger, a decent bull. As the day wore on we started marking birds on the radar about 35 miles off Boynton around 5pm. After fishing about 3 pods of birds with only small skipjacks under em, we found yellowfins as the sun began to set. We hooked a double and landed them and we headed back to the docks without stopping at the humps for swordies because we had enough meat and we were all tired. We never even came in sight of Freeport, But that is about the line that we were on. I will be a little more careful with my responses next time. I have been fishing the Bahamas since I was 4 and not once have I entered the Bahamas without clearing customs. Once again, I ask you to please ask me for the whole story before making premature judgements on my videos because there are many more to come!
