00:52 But perfect. Oh that teaser bite was rad.
00:59 Alright, had him up on the teaser.
01:03 [Inaudible]
01:09 No, he's good, he's alright. Whatever he wants to do.
01:13 He can handle. He's done it before.
01:19 [Music]
01:36 Does anyone want the one?
01:38 Wow.
01:40 [Music]
01:52 Now we got him. Big bite.
01:54 [Music]
02:19 See that was where I was going.
02:24 I got him.
02:27 [Music]
02:55 [Music]
03:05 [Music]
03:15 [Music]
03:25 [Music]
03:45 [Music]
04:05 Yeah buddy.
04:07 [Inaudible]
04:14 Just let him go Nick.
04:18 Right there.
04:20 Good. Alright.
04:23 Thank you.
04:24 Good job.
04:25 Good job.
04:26 Oh my god, having three crew in the carpenter reel is like a dream.
04:30 [Laughter]
04:31 Holy shit, I could get the stingray.
04:33 Alright guys, so update. Yeah, so like I was saying, we're out here.
04:37 I'm going to check a spot down here.
04:41 Came down first pass.
04:44 Fish slammed my short teaser, bridge teaser.
04:48 I started pulling it away.
04:50 Got him. He was pretty fired up.
04:52 He came up and had a sniff at the other teaser.
04:54 I got that out. We had the lure right there.
04:56 She ate the lure. Going away. Perfect scenario.
04:59 On little one, which is what we want.
05:02 Peter, he's having some health issues at the moment.
05:08 So he, but he wanted to catch one.
05:12 He wanted a real big one for him. So that was perfect.
05:15 And I tried to get as aggressive as I could to get right over to that thing.
05:18 Put a lot of drag on it.
05:20 She was wild.
05:24 But yeah, pretty cool.
05:26 Got him. Back out here fishing now.
05:29 And see what happens next.
05:34 I see him.
05:38 Come on.
05:41 Look here. Look here. Ready?
05:46 Outside in. Come on out.
05:50 Oh shit. Coming out of him.
05:56 Grab your stinger. Grab your stinger.
06:06 That's you.
06:12 Turn him in the back.
06:28 That was a nice one.
06:31 Come on.
06:35 That's loud.
06:39 That's loud.
06:42 That's loud.
06:52 That's loud.
07:07 That's loud.
07:36 That's loud.
07:40 That's a good one.
07:44 That's a good one.
08:13 I'm going to go in the water. At least we'll save the tackle.
08:16 It was around here last year. It was a flimsy backer.
08:21 It's a Mexican clam.
08:27 Bristol makes me un-clever to do it right.
08:31 Under load.
08:33 I'm not going to lie. I can get used to having three people in clear lines.
08:56 I like the experience of my life when I'm sharing it with all of you.
09:02 In Atlantic City.
09:05 That's a good one.
09:28 That's a good one.
09:35 Well, that's that. We're heading in.
09:38 Had those two. Caught the one. We pulled hook on that other one.
09:43 The GoPro went dead for whatever reason.
09:47 I'll finish my thing here.
09:50 Anyhow, we're heading in.
09:52 I got a fair idea where we might want to put some efforts in as long as the current doesn't switch.
09:59 Good little zone down there I like.
10:01 Hopefully, there's some money swimming around down there for us.
10:07 Anyways, we're into the tournament run starting tomorrow.
10:13 Wish us luck.
10:15 Hopefully we find one.
10:17 Alright then.
10:19 [Music]
10:41 What's up guys?
10:43 Good morning.
10:45 This has been a little while.
10:47 I apologize we haven't had anything out here.
10:50 Putting up on the channel here anytime soon.
10:53 Just finished up our grind for the summer.
10:58 Not for the summer, for like the tournament season.
11:00 So I wasn't putting together any content.
11:03 Fishing was real tough.
11:07 We didn't do any good.
11:10 Wasn't our year.
11:13 There were some nice ones around but definitely very few and far between.
11:21 Definitely tough fishing.
11:23 We're back now to regular charter fishing.
11:27 We'll be grinding it pretty hard here.
11:30 We pretty much have been.
11:32 Not many, really no days off there.
11:35 We were pretty much tournament, stacked after tournament.
11:39 Just going for it.
11:42 We now will get back into our regular season here.
11:48 We'll be grinding pretty hard probably until about the 9th of August maybe.
11:55 8th or 9th.
11:57 Then I got a little trip down to Mexico.
12:01 A little surfing, maybe a little bit of fishing.
12:04 But mostly just going to be going down there to surf.
12:06 I do a couple of those every summer so I had that blocked off.
12:10 So I'll go down there, come back, slam all through the rest of the month.
12:15 And then get into our fall time, which I love fishing in the fall.
12:21 If you've never been here then, come down here and fish with us.
12:25 It's pretty cool.
12:27 I feel like the fishing's been good the last few years in that time of the year.
12:32 And there's nobody on the water because it's kind of like the summer's done.
12:36 So kids are going back to school.
12:38 People have vacations or whatever.
12:40 They're getting back to whatever.
12:41 So there's not a lot of people usually around.
12:43 So kind of cool if you can pull it off.
12:45 It's a great time to be here.
12:46 But anyways, I wanted to apologize that I haven't got any content out there.
12:51 It's just kind of how it's been.
12:53 But we're going to rev right back up into it.
12:56 We're going to head out there today and get right back into it.
13:00 And start putting together these videos and getting them out there as regular as possible.
13:07 I want to ask you guys something though.
13:10 Put in the comments or message me content that you guys want to see.
13:14 Whether it be explaining a technique.
13:17 Whether it be a certain angle or a certain thing or whatever it is.
13:23 I've said it from the beginning.
13:25 Look, I'm not making a bunch of money or anything off these videos at all.
13:28 These videos are for everybody out there.
13:30 I started doing this because I felt that there wasn't enough good blue marlin fishing content out there that was just authentic.
13:40 And I was tired of watching the fishing videos out there.
13:45 The authentic, you know, it just wasn't there.
13:50 So I wanted to see content that was authentic out there.
13:53 Now, since then, there's been a few other people that are putting out some pretty cool stuff.
13:57 And that's good to see.
13:59 Anyhow, like I said, these videos are for you guys.
14:02 So the whole point was to do authentic stuff.
14:05 To get some cool things going.
14:08 So yeah, let me know if there's something you want to see.
14:12 And let's get back into this.
14:15 And rev it up.
14:17 Alright, let's go blue marlin fishing.

18:43 [Music]
18:53 [Music]
19:03 Alright, well we're going to head in here.
19:06 We've got a hurricane hitting here tonight.
19:08 Actually I think at the point it hits us it'll probably be a tropical storm.
19:12 It's due to make landfall here tonight.
19:14 So we snuck out here today to get a little quick one in here.
19:17 Caught that blue marlin this morning.
19:20 It's starting to get a little bumpy out here now.
19:23 You can see the weather changing.
19:25 You can definitely see some stuff going on.
19:27 But we just had that one bite.
19:29 Made it around, current switched midday.
19:32 There's going to be some weird stuff going on out here.
19:35 But yeah, we're going to call it a day here.
19:37 Head in a little earlier and get all tied up.
19:41 Get set up and let the storm pass through.
19:44 And then be back out here the next day.
19:48 See what the heck that does to the ocean.
19:50 I don't know, usually after one of those storms our current is a little bit messed up.
19:53 It can be weird.
19:54 But we'll see.
19:56 Usually these storms don't even affect us.
19:58 But it kind of gets stuck up in the mountain.
20:00 But this one looks like it's actually going to come around the south of us.
20:03 Luckily I think, like I said, it's probably only going to be a tropical storm when it gets hit.
20:08 The news channels here are hyping it to be like a hurricane and all this stuff.
20:11 But we'll see.
20:14 They do it all the time.
20:17 But yeah.
20:19 Anyways, we're going to get up, get the boat ready, tie it in, sit out the storm.
20:24 And we will see you out there in the wake of the storm.
20:28 And see if we can find some fish right after and get right back into it.
20:33 Keep our seat belts on.
20:36 Good to get out here and catch one today.
20:39 And the boys from the old number 7 fishing with us today.
20:43 Pretty good tournament boat over there on the east coast.
20:47 They fish all over the place.
20:49 They kick butt. They do good.
20:51 Great fishermen.
20:53 Fun having them on the boat.
20:55 But yeah. We're headed.
20:57 We'll see you guys in a couple days.
21:01 Alright.
21:03 [Music]
21:09 [Music]
21:38 Alright. Back out here heading out.
21:41 Current's been all mixed up since that storm passed through.
21:45 So it's been kind of tough.
21:49 What we missed two the other day. That was about it.
21:53 I went on and had another real bad bite.
21:55 But you know, it's been a couple.
21:58 It's been really slow amongst the fleet here.
22:01 Like I said, the currents are all mixed up.
22:03 So it's been really kind of tough to find where you want to find them.
22:06 Because of the sonars, we're kind of finding some fish just randomly.
22:10 Kind of out there in the deep.
22:12 We're just like randomly. Not really like working structure.
22:14 They're just kind of driving around marking to find them.
22:17 There were a couple nice ones caught.
22:20 So there are some good ones around.
22:22 But you just kind of got to be in the, you know,
22:25 you just got to kind of be there when you're there.
22:27 It just makes it tough when the currents funky.
22:29 If you don't have a sonar because it's,
22:31 they're not really like where they're supposed to be on structure.
22:35 So you just kind of got to do a little more traveling
22:38 than just straight hunting and fishing.
22:40 But it should start settling itself now.
22:42 That storm's long gone now.
22:46 And things should start to settle back in.
22:48 We should hopefully get a little consistent weather pattern.
22:52 And gosh damn, these guys in this snorkel boat
22:59 just literally pulled a U-turn across the harbor entrance
23:04 chasing a shark with a bunch of tortoise on it.
23:06 This stuff drives me absolutely crazy.
23:09 No regard to what we're trying to do here.
23:13 Unreal.
23:15 But anyways, let's go out and catch one here.
23:23 So a little update here.
23:33 I found a little bit of current in my searching.
23:37 It's starting to pick up a little bit up here.
23:41 I think we went past the split there
23:43 and now we're starting to kind of see some current up this way.
23:47 I think, you know, things are slowly starting to settle back into a normal flow
23:52 and hopefully it's very consistent.
23:54 But anyways, the first bit of current I've seen in a while.
23:59 So I'm going to stick it out in this area.
24:02 Kind of work the structure that favors that.
24:05 Kind of pound it for the rest of the day here.
24:07 See if we can find one up in here.
24:10 No one around, so if there is one here, we should get first hits.
24:20 I haven't seen too many people today.
24:23 But yeah, anyways, that's the story.
24:30 That's where we're at.
24:31 I did and hopefully find one.
24:34 Stand by here.
24:37 [Music]
25:04 Bro, I got a double.
25:06 I got a double on that right side.
25:19 You understand that, right?
25:21 That was a nice bite.
25:26 [Music]
25:45 So you put the other one in on him?
25:47 Yeah.
25:48 That other one ate my teaser and then switched over to that.
25:51 [Music]
26:09 Stay tight.
26:10 [Music]
26:21 Very nice, sir.
26:22 Very nice.
26:23 You're going off?
26:25 Yeah, you're doing good.
26:27 [Music]
26:49 Someone grab my hat, please.
26:51 Oh, your hat, his hat.
26:53 I got it.
26:54 [Music]
27:23 [Music]
27:33 Might be a good idea.
27:35 [Music]
27:46 Yeah, I got the black and the bamboo.
27:48 Definitely would go bamboo.
27:50 I mean.
27:51 [Music]
27:59 I think he just head shook on you.
28:01 I felt it give way a bit.
28:03 Turned his head and gave a good tail kick at the same time.
28:07 [Music]
28:12 Which gap do you want, the black or the bamboo?
28:14 I'll grab the bamboo.
28:15 It's a lot of drag.
28:16 You want to keep it right here?
28:17 Yeah, that's fine.
28:18 [Music]
28:34 It took a bit off me.
28:36 [Music]
28:46 Doing very good, sir.
28:47 You're doing very good.
28:48 Glad you have it.
28:51 Bet you're glad you have it on 130 and not a.
28:53 Yeah, 30 pounds.
28:56 It would be a bit challenging.
28:58 I mean, this is impressive, but that would be beyond impressive.
29:01 Yeah.
29:07 You coming down?
29:14 No, no, I didn't mean right now.
29:16 I just mean I got to move that gap if not.
29:26 [Music]
29:55 [Music]
30:15 Oh, nice shot, Chris.
30:17 Nice sickles on that one.
30:19 Good job, boys.
30:20 Good job.
30:21 I've never seen one eat a lure like that before in my life.
30:24 Look at that one, boys.
30:25 Nice shot, Chris.
30:28 Yeah, so we found that bit of current, started working that area,
30:36 started working that little hump there, and sure enough, we got piled on by that one.
30:40 Funny enough, it was nice.
30:43 The one ate the bullet, the large feather sword.
30:46 We had that on, and as I was doing a turn, one piled on my teaser,
30:51 and I was looking, I saw a black back, but I'm thinking, you know,
30:55 I thought maybe a small marlin or something, but at that point,
30:58 we're already hooked to this one, and Nick's helping him in the chair,
31:01 so we couldn't pitch.
31:02 The fish disappeared, and sure enough, it piles on the right long,
31:11 which is like a large tube lure.
31:14 Big, big explosion, never jumps, so.
31:17 Long story short, it's a tuna.
31:22 We're right through the end of the day, and we caught it in front of the harbor,
31:24 so we're going to run in.
31:25 These guys want to weigh it, and if the fuel rock closes, I think it'll be pretty early.
31:30 We're going to get in front of the close, and hopefully get a weight on it for them.
31:35 Looks like a 115-pounder or something like that.
31:38 We'll have some meat.
31:41 We're not going to sell this one, but we'll eat it.
31:44 But, hey, we started looking at action here, so tomorrow I'm going to--
31:49 unless something changes tonight, tomorrow that's our action plan going to be fishing here.
31:53 If we see big blues in here, I would take all that baits that are going to come to life here.
31:57 The current's good.
31:58 Final.
31:59 So let's see what tomorrow brings.
32:02 [WATER RUSHING]
32:05 [WATER RUSHING]
32:09 [WATER RUSHING]
32:12 [WATER RUSHING]
32:15 [WATER RUSHING]
32:18 [WATER RUSHING]
32:21 [WATER RUSHING]
32:24 [WATER RUSHING]
32:27 [WATER RUSHING]
32:30 [WATER RUSHING]
32:33 [WATER RUSHING]
32:36 [WATER RUSHING]
32:39 [WATER RUSHING]
32:42 [WATER RUSHING]
32:45 [WATER RUSHING]
32:48 All right, perfect.
32:49 Awesome, thank you, Chris.
32:50 Yeah, good job.
32:51 You want one on your own?
32:52 Yeah, sure.
32:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
32:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
32:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
33:02 [WATER RUSHING]
33:05 [WATER RUSHING]
33:06 What's up, guys?
33:07 All right.
33:09 Back out here again.
33:10 Yeah.
33:13 So the other trip, we found some current, right?
33:19 Right after we found current, had a bunch of tunas.
33:21 It's a wolf pack come through the spread.
33:24 And then we caught that one.
33:25 And we said, look, let's just go in and weigh this thing.
33:27 It's the end of the day.
33:28 We're right front on our way, trawling too.
33:30 We missed a marlin, actually, right after.
33:33 We had a bite on the long.
33:34 But yeah, I mean, it just goes to show
33:38 how current is king in Kona without current.
33:42 Fish aren't here.
33:43 Or if they are here, they're really hard to find.
33:45 A lot of times, they're just out wide,
33:47 or they're just kind of wandering.
33:48 They're not stacked in one spot.
33:49 So it makes it very difficult when the current's not here.
33:51 This has been, for me, I've never seen it since I've been here
33:54 where the current's been this bad.
33:56 So inconsistent and fluesy and different
33:58 and just weird fish and weird stuff going on.
34:01 But it started to kind of look good in that area.
34:04 So excited the next day we headed out,
34:06 come around the corner, everything changed again.
34:09 Yesterday was just kind of a trying day.
34:12 Current started off all over the place,
34:14 then it went south, then it went north,
34:16 then you'd go down to BB,
34:17 and the buoy would be where it should be on a south current.
34:21 It was just like all mixed up.
34:24 But we're out here today.
34:26 Looks--it's still a little early for me to fully tell
34:30 what this current's doing.
34:32 But coming around the corner,
34:33 it looks like we're back to maybe a north,
34:36 which is good.
34:37 But we'll see how we go as we kind of come around the area here
34:41 and what we find and where we put our efforts in today
34:45 and where we fish.
34:47 But we are pretty far into the summer grind now.
34:52 We're on a run of like 10-hour days.
34:54 So when you book a trip with me,
34:56 you can either book an 8- or a 10-hour.
34:58 And we literally have, like--
35:00 I feel like we have maybe 20 10-hour days in a row.
35:03 I have the second blocked off to do like an oil change or whatever.
35:11 But, you know, the thing is, like, when you're that grinding that hard
35:13 and then you have--you schedule a day off.
35:16 It's not really a day off.
35:17 You can do it over.
35:18 And then you have like a long list of errands to run.
35:21 You got kids, da-da-da-da-da-da.
35:23 You know it if you're in the industry and you're a charter company
35:25 or you're whatever company.
35:26 You know what that's all about.
35:28 You know, I found myself the other morning getting up.
35:32 It kind of--fishing's been really tough.
35:34 This is the hardest summer I've ever fished here.
35:36 It's been--you know, there's some big fish around,
35:38 but, like, it's just really hard to find them.
35:41 Without the sonars, it's been very difficult
35:43 because the fish are so scattered.
35:45 They're not where they're supposed to be.
35:46 The inside, which is what I always fish, where I really like it,
35:49 it's been dreadful in there.
35:51 So it's just been--it's just been really a very tough summer.
35:54 You know, it's just fishing, right?
35:56 It goes a cycle, too.
35:58 Could be the El Nino. I don't know what it is, right?
36:00 But we're just having a bad year here in Kona.
36:02 You know, with that being said, a bad year, right?
36:04 We won the World Cup.
36:06 There's been, you know, big ones caught.
36:07 You know, there was a grander caught.
36:09 So it's still Kona, right?
36:13 But, yeah, anyways, I kind of found myself the other morning like,
36:16 "Man, I'm, like, so busy."
36:22 Just kind of getting worn out, like you kind of do sometimes
36:25 working in the summer, but kind of put things in--
36:27 kind of put things a little in perspective and think about it
36:30 and be grateful for the fact that I am this busy,
36:32 for the fact that new people are watching my videos
36:37 and I'm getting support, that I have support in this industry
36:40 and how far I've come.
36:41 And I guess it's hard sometimes, you know,
36:43 whatever your facet of business is, whether you're in, you know,
36:47 whatever your business is, right, sometimes it's hard to stop
36:50 and actually look where you've come from, right?
36:52 Because we're so focused on where we want to get
36:56 or how much money we want to put in the account
36:58 or we want to catch our grand or we want to do this
37:00 or we want to do that, right?
37:01 You're just, like, disappointed because it's not happening.
37:03 But, like, I've been trying lately to kind of, like, think about,
37:07 you know, just being grateful for where I'm at right this second, right?
37:11 You know, and then get excited about opportunities coming
37:14 and get, you know--we all have to have that dragon to slay, right?
37:18 So I get excited about what my dragon is, you know,
37:20 whatever that is, right, whatever your dragon is, right?
37:22 It might be success in your business.
37:24 It might be, you know, losing weight.
37:26 It might be running a marathon.
37:27 It might be--I mean, whatever.
37:29 Who knows what it is, right?
37:30 And it might be catching the best tarpon, you know, personal best
37:33 or getting the, you know, biggest barrel of your life
37:37 or doing this or doing that, whatever it is, right?
37:40 We need that dragon to slay to keep us motivated,
37:42 to keep us humbled, to keep us rolling, right?
37:44 So, you know, but I've been freaking thinking about it
37:48 and just, like, trying to allow myself to just be grateful
37:51 for where I'm at at the moment.
37:53 And I think--you know, I think we all should try and do that a little bit, you know?
38:00 And I think back, like, freaking even just, like, 7 years ago,
38:03 I mean, I was, like, going to hotels with, like, a billboard,
38:08 like a little freaking cutout with, like, pictures of Marlin on it
38:11 and, like, trying to sell charters to people that they didn't--
38:15 they didn't want to go fishing, right?
38:17 Like, they had no idea.
38:18 So I'm, like, trying to sell them on, like, a 4-hour trip
38:20 and just go out to just keep the wheels moving.
38:22 Because I'm an owner/operator, like, I got to get--you know,
38:25 I came here, I was so far in--when the boat got here,
38:28 like, I was so far in debt, and I was, like, I got to--right?
38:31 So I was, like, I'm not--and I'm, like, pretty--kind of shy,
38:35 so, like, it's hard for me, like, to go to these hotels
38:38 and talk to these people and do this and, like, just trying anything.
38:40 I would take cruise ship charters, half-days.
38:43 I would take group con trips, whatever it was.
38:45 I would just, like, try to get this thing out here,
38:47 go freaking snorkel tour, go out fish, go in the bay,
38:50 go snorkel, come back, fish back.
38:52 You know, I mean, I think about it, you know.
38:54 I mean, I think about one--I was, like, trying to convince
38:57 these, like, two butch lesbian girls to, like, come fish.
39:01 And it was, like--you know, I would go to these, like,
39:03 a lot of timeshares here, and they'll have, like, every once--
39:06 one day a week, they do, like, a timeshare meeting
39:08 where, like, if you're a tour operator, you can go
39:10 and kind of, like, peddle what your tour is.
39:13 And I remember one time I was just, like--I saw--
39:15 they were the only two in there.
39:17 Everyone else was, like, so elderly.
39:18 I was, like, they can't even get on my boat.
39:20 They were the only two, and, like, I didn't have any trips
39:22 that week, and I really needed to just, like,
39:24 get some money rolling.
39:25 I was just, like, trying my best to peddle marlin fishing
39:29 to these two, you know, these two butch chicks,
39:34 and they were, like--you know, I don't even think
39:38 they booked in the end, but I just--you know,
39:40 I think back to all that, and now where I'm at
39:42 at a point where I'm, like--I'm fully booked out
39:45 until next year, and, you know, I'm giving charters
39:49 to my friends.
39:50 I'm out here fishing, if I wanted to, every single day.
39:56 You know, I'm just marlin fishing now,
39:58 which is what I love to do.
39:59 I don't do half days.
40:00 I don't take cruise ship--I take good clients
40:03 that actually want to come out here and do this
40:05 and go marlin fish, so I know it's been so long-winded,
40:08 but I don't know who needs to hear this,
40:11 and maybe it's, like, a breath.
40:12 You know, maybe it is what someone else there
40:14 wants to hear, right?
40:17 And, you know, it's just, like, great.
40:20 Look back at where you're at, whatever it is.
40:22 You might be a plumber, right?
40:23 Think about when you were, like, an apprentice
40:25 or whatever you were doing, right,
40:26 and just try and be grateful for the current moment,
40:29 where you are right now, and, yeah,
40:32 when you go farther, you've got your dragon to slay,
40:35 but that's awesome, and that's--we need that,
40:39 but sometimes you also need to just be kind of, like, grateful.
40:43 Sometimes that'll bounce you out of a little bit of a funk.
40:45 We all get in a funk.
40:46 I've been in a funk.
40:47 The fish has been so bad, I've just been kind of struggling,
40:50 but that's my moment of zen for you guys.
40:55 I don't know if it--if one person finds value in that,
40:59 then that was worth me taking the time to say.
41:02 Anyways, hopefully we go catch fish here now.
41:06 All right.
41:08 [music]
41:19 [chatter]
41:21 [waves crashing]
41:31 Just keep reeling.
41:32 Good job, bud.
41:33 Keep going, Chris.
41:34 I've got gloves on.
41:35 I'm just putting the belt on.
41:36 You're good.
41:37 Keep going.
41:43 Yeah, he's almost there.
41:49 Good job.
41:50 Good retrieve, man.
41:51 Doing okay?
41:52 Oh, now it's running.
41:54 Still got some fight left in it.
41:57 No, it's not done yet.
41:59 It's coming at the boat.
42:02 Yeah, it's not done yet.
42:04 [music]
42:10 Look at him, look at him.
42:11 Oh, my God.
42:14 Get ready, he's going to get tight.
42:15 Get ready, he's going to get really tight really quick.
42:17 There you go.
42:18 Just like you know it's going to--yeah.
42:26 I'm here.
42:27 I'll get ready as I can be for that.
42:33 You sit.
42:35 Yeah, dude, I backed up.
42:37 I'm not even going to lie to you.
42:40 Yeah, you're good.
42:41 Keep going.
42:46 [music]
43:00 No, you're good.
43:01 Yeah, I'm still missing the hook.
43:03 Yeah, you're good where you are.
43:05 [music]
43:29 He's a fish.
43:31 Oh, he's in the eye.
43:32 That's what it is.
43:33 Whoa.
43:34 Nope.
43:38 No, I got it.
43:40 He's right here.
43:48 That's what it is, Chris.
44:13 Good job, dude.
44:15 How's that go?
44:16 Good job.
44:17 How was that?
44:18 Good marlin.
44:19 That's what we were looking for all day.
44:20 You got a 900?
44:22 Yeah, about 120.
44:23 Yeah, I thought I was at like--
44:26 All right, guys.
44:27 Well, that's all.
44:29 We're heading in.
44:31 We kind of ran out of time there, but stuff is looking good.
44:34 Looking good out here.
44:35 So fingers crossed.
44:36 Current stays the same.
44:38 And we don't have a big change overnight here.
44:41 And we'll be back to fishing.
44:44 And I cannot tell you how excited I am to get back to fishing.
44:49 But at it tomorrow, see if we can find a big one.
44:54 All right.
