Thats all the gas i had. I could barely hold that tale up. 2 hour battle on stand up takes ot out of ya and she was a mean girl! Then 3 of us had to get her over the side.

Fished out of Oregon inlet wensday. The morning started out crazy not being able to find ice for the boat on the way down. Got off to a late start. Had an electrinics blackout 10 miles off the beach freaked us all out but i was able to get us back online. Showed up really late to the party and Lines in the water at 8:30. We couldnt even get the 3rd rod in the water and she crashed the long rigger on a white/crystal joe shute followed by a horsey. It was crazy not even trolling 3 minutes. As i was fighting the fish we saw a pod of 8 or 9 bluefins crashing the topwater that were 600 to a 1000 pounds. Back to the dock by 1:00 drinking beer and cleaning fish. Crazy crazy!
