Offshore Big Ass Bluefin on the Malahini

[jayyyy]

That's website / brochure material their, and that kids bucket list just got shorter.

 

[Billy V]

That fish is a little over 100 lbs.

 

[BiggestT]

Surprised the boat let him hang on the fish. Wonder if the rest of the people were pissing and moaning while he was on the fish?

 

[badpetedave]

Troll fish?

 

[Lake]

Tail's not clipped. More often then not the big ones are bait fish.

 

[strackle99]

I can't wait to hear the story behind it

 

[Bigpondonly]

I heard rumor #128...

 

[DMG]

I asked the owner Bill as he was walking back down the dock after it was weighed and he said 126.

 

[Rimack]

I was thinking the same thing

wow a few pounds shy of a teenager..super impressive still..

 

[Rimack]

great catch.....he'll be chasing that feeling the rest of his life! ^^^this raises an interesting question though. if he was in the jackpot pool, is a young man like him supposed to surrender it to the crew? would the crew accept it? if they did are they jerks? just wondering???

Personally I would offer up 1/3 - 1/2 my winnings for 3/4 day

why are you assuming that he took a long time to land the fish. what if he had good gears and landed in 20 minutes.

Confirmed 126lbs. Way more than the kid!!

Had a buddy standing there when it was weighed and he texted some pics

 

[stairman]

If he caught it on 60 and knows how to pull on a fish that's a 30 min fish

in college right now and if I win a jackpot you best believe I'm keeping that so I wouldn't be knockin the kid haha

 

[strackle99]

I don't think the Malihini does JP anymore... Too much hassle

 

[jer dog]

I bet that kid's pretty damn happy, bet he will fish for the rest of his life. mrkrabs

maybe he should keep a good picture of that fish so when he has kids he can show them it and say this is how it was done years ago
when I was a kid , just plan Assume

 

[CalicoCody]

H&M's facebook page said the kid was from Massachusetts... Think he had his own gear? or used someone he knows? or was a rent rodder? Any way you slice it that is a bruiser fish for sure.

Yep no Jackpot

JP doesn't matter. The JP is the fish of a lifetime.

That makes sense, what a gift, but he still had to work to unwrap it! Hopefully dad gave big tip!

 

[SouthBayKiller]

I'm not sure what I'm more stoked on - the kid scoring a catch of a lifetime or that the fish ate #60!
