Chris,
I remember that day, the kid I was fishing with was impressed, he has a 22 Whaler and besides the pounding he would have taken, I only used 25 gallons, where he said he would have used 65 gallons or more.(2-stoke Johnson). I did not get anything that day, did you?
Were you fishing on Nov 10 Off of Chatham? Here is a video the guy fishing next to me made, I caught a Giant that day, and mine dressed at 600lbs, so it must have been close to 800. It was a little sloppy that day, (I Think Small craft were up) my boat took it well, even with almost 1000.00 pounds of Fish and ice in the front hatch. I am thinking about going tomorrow.

My brother loaded a video of the unloading of my fish; he was having some fun with the narration. He kept turning the video on and off so there were a few of them.
