We had expected the arrival of School Bluefins in mid-late July however that big push of fish didn't happen and we had keep postponing our repeat customers until the fish showed up.  However this gave us a chance to take another shot at Giant fishing.  We went out to southern Jeffries and set up in early August.  We were set up in the dark by 0430.  However we didn't mark our fist fish until almost 1000.  He stayed around for an hour and seem un interetsed in any of our offerings.  All of a sudden at about 1100 we went tight.  Man O Man did we go tight this thing battled its way to a 2 and a half hour fight on a 85 degree day.  Dripping with sweat and 3 miles away from our anchor ball we tail roped the fish.  If we lost him I swear he was a grander.  We took the 3 mile jog back to the ball towing the fish.  By this time all our live bait was dead the boat was in shambles and we were completely worn out.  We set the bait net once again and got set up at about 2:30.  About an hour later we had were marking again.  However this time there was no hesitation the fish came through and piled on right away.  We drop the ball and Mark goes to wind down on the reel... He says "its broken."  WHAT??? ya... a bearing went in the reel, we thought game over... but we put our heads together and began to strip another reel.  The fish beban running down to the dacron of the broken reel just about the time we got the working reel stripped.  We cut the broken reel line with the fish on it and tied it to the new line then backed down and never let the line off the reel again.  So we were good had him straight up and down after about a half hour.  When Mark jinxed it.  "Thank god this fish isn't like his brother from hell."  Well after that comment it was another two hours before we had a harpoon shot.  Out of ice and beat we returned to sell the catch.  One dressed 391 and the other 376.  We were too tried even for pictures at that point. About a week later we went out to do some commercial bass fishing on the grounds just south of gloucester.  We set up and after 4 hours we had marked one bass and missed him and caught about 4 bluefish.  When we say the heck with this.  Up comes the deep line and we just happend to glance at the screen... A Tuna.  We thought maybe a little 100-200 lbs.  After about 10 minutes of gettin the 130 rigged up while Mark played with the fish with a bass rod that I was praying he didn't actually get the thing to bite on we were ready for action.  Another ten more minues of playin around he took the bait... the right one.  after about 40 minutes we had done it... Caught a Giant Bluefin at the "Groaner."  The fish dresed 506lbs.
