Big E Rumors

kenner21 · 06-15-2008, 12:43 PM

Little birdie told me the Big E is bringing in the largest yellowfin and largest grouper ever landed on the boat. Could not get the weights so I'm guessing they're going to be some SLABS. Wish I was down there to watch the boat come in, or even better to have been on the trip.

I am waiting at the dock to see they weigh the fish.
My estimate is 170 - 190 lbs, but I could be wrong. We have several fish over 100 lbs and broke off a few larger one on one long drift this morning at Nancen.

the tuna is 154 lbs and the warsaw grouper is 234 lbs.
when a crew said the yft is over 200 lbs, I said no way.
He asked me whether I've seen any tuna over 200 lbs. Apprarently they didn't see 200 lbs tuna.

do you remember which one?

josh landed it.

the tuna was probably a bit heavier when caught, prob 170ish.

kil - your big tuna was probably around 90-95lbs when caught.

I ended up with 361lbs of fish to clean - and i gave a few away!
