Now this is the kind of post I like to see--not that political stuff. Looks like a great day on the water. Glad to hear your motor ran pretty well for you MJ. In one of the pics it looks like it has the ox up on a plane and scooting along pretty well.

MJ, sorry to hear about all your pain. You look good in the pics though. Looks like you have lost a bit of weight. Hope you are back to 100% real soon.

Way to go guys...I've never reeled in anything that size. Got to be a serious workout.

Congrats to team Macojoe!

I'll start things off and MJ can add his pics later.
We met at the ramp at Green Harbor at roughly 5:30 AM. got out of the harbor and prepared to make our 20 mile run out to the south west corner of Stellwagon Bank just off the tip of Provinctown.
Conditions were flat calm.

Approaching the Bank

The arsenal

Wasn't long until we were into the fish. It took a topwater Sluggo

Mark was the reelman on this one. He and I worked the reels all day long. MJ was the wheel man to keep us on course and a steady speed. Kenny worked the leader on this fish. I harpooned it and bled it out in the water. Things were like a Chinese Fire Drill in the boat for a little bit with a couple of tangled lines coming in.

Making a troll

Lots of whales out there. I've never seen so many


Only allowed one fish per boat on HMS. we were back home by noon.
Great day. The boat ran well. Couple of fuel issues, but I don't think it's anything serious. It ran for 6 hours non-stop.
Thanks MJ
One more
