Royal Polaris Crew
hello folks and good morning. today we had fantastic weather once again. clear blue skies, lots of sunshine and very calm seas. lots of sun block was needed by all. we had a good scratch on wahoo, most by way of the boat sitting on anchor. tuna fishing, however was tough and although we did land ten, we did not have any big ones for the day. we did witness something that none of us have ever seen before, what is it you ask. well lets begin with the angler, jerrry brown. while fishing a sardine he hooked into the behemoth. at first we thought a shark because of the sheer weight and the ease in which it took line off the reel. but this was not the case, and after 45 minutes or so, the most unlikely thing other than the chargers winning a game, came in into view. was it a shark? or a grouper? or a giant eel of some sort. this thing slithered like a snake in its movements, the head of a shark, the body and tail of a grouper! amazing, and so powerful ,we held it at the surface fo r a good 45 seconds as it wrangled around and threw water high into the air before it won its freedom. the whole time i was asking everyone what the hell it was. someone said they had seen something on the discovery channel about a species called a mega mouth. i said oh it must be female! anyhow, we are going to look it up when we get back in. hopefully tomorrow brings bigger tuna. billy and the crew.
