Nice Job Bryan and Kyle!

Really nice trophy and great tasting tuna bud! Maybe I can get on again soon...

My highlight was the blue marlin I hooked out at the floaters ..... she dumped a 30 wide Tiagra in almost 30 seconds ....... it took me an hour to get that line back (approx 500 yrds)....... I had to pass the rod off for the next 45 minutes to catch my breath .....two anglers fought her at that time ......I came back and finished her off with the correct stand up gear ...

We released her at the boat ..... she was estimated in the 350 - 400lb range

After the sushi throw down with the tuna yesterday I think I am glowing with Mercury ....

Dude that is awesome

My buddy Kyle, with the yft, also had his name drawn for the grand prize offshore winner

What a meat haul! I would love to do a 72 hour trip. The 36 hour trip is awsome as well. I want to hit the deep blue sometime this year.

I canceled on the Gumbo cookoff sorry guy's i think it would have been another trophy for us,but wow they are still having the tourney it says.

I wanna go!!
