Blue, don't know how I missed that report.
That was a great trip, great post.
Seeing the fish next to the naked foot gave me the realization of just how big they were.
Very nice.

Hey Blue let me know ahead of time I'm interested in going. I like dolphin fishing and I could get a crew to go or maybe we could get some of the V forum members to go and make up a crew om my boat.

Yeah baby that's what I'm talking about! The more the merrier IMO!!

Will do Garage. I thought about you and Stillrunning beforehand but never got around to the invitation part - my bad. I promise to do better next time.

I'll have to check in the shed, but I don;t think any of my gaffs have a 5" hook. That sounds a little big for fishi under 100#'s.

As for the 70# drum, it really depends on where you catch him. In protected waters they fight kinda like a pig. They root around on the bottom, are powerful, but once you get him started up don;t have that much stamina in my opinion. Now if you catch that fish at the mouth of the bay in a hard running tide from an anchored boat...you gots your hands full fo sho'.

Yeah I agree, the 5" hook part is not as important to me as the 6 foot length for reaching out. I think my current gaff has less than 2 inch offset - maybe 3 inches. At any rate it doesn't seem like enough offset to me.
