Does you boat have a tuna door or did you just horse that thing over the rail? I can't even imagine the logistics of dealing with a fish that size.
Mike that's a friends boat correct? I can make it to block canyon safely if its flat and I top off in montauk or bring a bladder.
Wow Tuna door?! Ya learn something new every day.
Ya for meat you cant haul over the rail. I have one too. Reminds me I need to replace the latch. Door likes to pop open when its lumpy.
Not sure if I am reading this incorrectly. Why can't you haul over the rail? I do it all the time. Gaff to the head and gently haul over the side. Immediately spike, bleed, gut, ice. Did this with 40lb yellowfin to a 400lb porbeagle.
Well if we are going to pick my comment apart I'll ask you to re-read my first sentence. (For meat you cant haul over the rail)40lb yellowfin is obvious a rail job, 400lb shark more power to ya. Try a nice fiesty blue shark next Mike. Lemme know how you do!
