Each time you raise the bar over your last thread. Reminds me of The Old Man and the Sea. Outstanding.

So I watch that Wicked Tuna program with those folks running out of Gloucester I think. I assume they're fishing commercially with, it seems, a very similar set up to yours. I can't imagine the investment to fish recreationally, when these WT guys might go 2 weeks without a hook-up burning fuel and bait in the meantime. And then when they do bring a fish to port it can go north of $20K, which pays for that high dollar gear. The recreational guy gets a pat on the back, a quick photo op, and good eats for a week. Not for the faint of heart.


How does that one stack up to the one in your Avatar?
