...the right boat when you go bluewater fishing.

If those are what I think they are, I wouldn't be publishing
a photo
of them.
What do you think they are?
Baby blue fin.

Then again, maybe not.

In either case, it's quite bothersome to see that kind of "catch".

The pertoral fins are too long for those to be Bluefins, their
probably Longfin Albacore. And their really small ones. I don't
thing
we've ever kept one under 30 pounds, probably more like 40 pounds.
Those look like their all well under 10 pounds.

Heheheh.

The point of the photo was not the fish.




What was the point, that the guy in the boat knew how to fish? Or
that the kind of boat allowed you to catch more fish? If it is
the later, that would make for one hell of a marketing campaign.


Ever been 74 miles offshore in the Atlantic in a 21' fishing boat,
Reggie?

No, it really sounds like a stupid idea. It makes me think about
the line from the movie Jaws "I think we need a bigger boat". I
have made the run from Miami to Bimini, but it was much bigger than
a 21' fishing boat.



Well, some guys have salt water experience and balls, and others boat
(allegedly) on Lake Lanier.


Well Harry, you definitely have big ones, based upon what you tell us.



Bigger than yours, I am sure, but I am not crazy enough to go 74 miles
offshore in the Atlantic in a 21' boat. When we lived in Florida, I
would go out 20 miles or so in my small SeaPros, but always only in the
best of weather and in a "convoy" of others boats.


Christ - now we have multiple Seapros. I guess my balls are bigger.
19.5' to Bimini and back. Solo with a GPS, VHF, and EPIRB.
