Nice work Nick! I can't wait to tie in to one of those myself. What speed were you trolling at?

Thanks guys,

Scott, I was trolling around 6 knots.

Hopefully they will start heading in closer like last year!

Go get them!

This is making a great fishing story, already grew to 60lbs!

This piece was cut/pasted from the ONTHEWATER.com fishing report.

"
Captain Dennis DeCarney and Peter Santini from Fishing FINatics in Everett reported that Nick Fondulis nabbed a 60-pound bluefin that took his silver/black Rapala CD18 as he trolled along Stellwagen. This guy was prepared, as he had brought along a video camera with him that he strapped to his neck and taped the whole affair - talk about cool under pressure! Flounder are hitting well near the 2, 4, and 6 Cans in Boston Harbor. Surfcasters lobbing seaworms into the surf of Revere Beach are finding hungry cows in the suds. "

Any possibility that the bluefin might be in ipswich bay?
I was out yesterday and saw small birds working and would occassional see "something splashing" at the surface and then would follow a line of bubbles that would surface every 25 yards for about a quarter of a mile. Nothing showed up on Furuno fishfinder.....thought it might have been pilot whales because of bubbles but....never saw anything on screen. Than

I casted a deadly dick into the fray and snagged a very, very small fish (about the size of a half dollar). Not sure what is was.......

Ed,
There's a very good chance they are in the area. A guy I know in Gloucester landed a 83# on the fly 1/2 mile out of the harbor over the weekend.
