What kind of fish are those, and what is the legal limit on those suckers.

I noticed he is wearing rubber boots, not a bad idea.

How could they be those? After all, four guys on a 21' Parker with a

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.

Especially if they are blue fin! But, maybe the guy knows what he's
doing, he certainly knew to wear boots, and tuck his pants in them in

What was the point, that the guy in the boat knew how to fish? Or that

that would make for one hell of a marketing campaign.

Actually the big diesel boats fish tuna better. They can carry mor scoops
of livebait and the tuna seem to be attracted by the vibrations of the
bigger boats.

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.

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.

Our Waylon is more of an 'armchair quarterback'. He talks a good fight

tuna fishing days in SoCal.


Yep - your right - albacore.

Still way too small though.

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?


Our Waylon is more of an 'armchair quarterback'. He talks a good fight
but at the first sight of a breaking wave would scamper back to a nice
shrinking, shallow lake.



No, I think you got that wrong. While I have done quiet a bit of
boating in the Atlantic, I prefer not to discuss the details because all
it does is stir up a lot of "oh yeah, I don't believe it". I have
always found that those who spend all their time talking about their
adventures (sexual or otherwise) probably have the fewest real adventures.

Anyone who has ever read rec.boats will see that most claims made in
rec.boats are challenged, so why bother. While I haven't made any
claims, you are ready to jump on and talk about "talks a good fight...
but would scamper back to a nice shrinking, shallow lake". I am not
that bored to get into that silly discussion.

But you don't mind discussing and often disparaging the details of others.

Bottle nosed dolphin certainly are. Our trawler is a veritable

That's because they are doing three times your speed. :-)

I was going to mention they were attracted by the smell of ripe fish,
but I didn't want to start anything. :}

Yabut, I know what he's saying. I remember well the sight of dophins
playing ahead and alongside the bow when we traveled south on the Navigator.
There's something very special about them .... I think they know us.

Just about every time we went a half mile offshore in Jax, we saw
dolphins playing with boats. Our boat, everybody's boat. Dolphins are
great pals to have out there in the ocean. We see them in the bay but
only once in a while.

To those of us "up north" that rarely see a dophin playing alongside the
boat, it was quite a thrill.

I think we picked them up off of the Carolinas, and they were ever present
all the way to south Florida.

I have a great video, taken by my brother, of our night in Titusville that
captures a bunch of dophins playing with some guy's dog in the water at the
marina.
