Yep, those are my fingers. See that nice loin gaff. Bring some heavy gear. You will get a lot more fishing time in if everyone has the gear to pour on drag. We lost a bunch of drifts because of hookups on noodle rods. The rig is in 8000' of water so anything is possible. I saw a huge tuna go under the boat lights one time. Their was one point where they wouldn't take anything. They were cruising under the boat in plain view. This was around 5am. Poor Fishhead's rod is ruined. It was a new rod. Now it looks like a boat rod from a party boat. The gimbal destroyed, the grip is no longer round. It looks like somebody flattened it out with a hammer from the rail damage. That big tuna made hamburger meat out that rod. It also made him a very tired angler. The fish were mean. I think only one came in without a hard battle.
