"Today we did not catch a lot but man, what we did catch was awesome. Ed Quinten finished things up today with an old Truline rod and a TLD 50 topped with 100-pound test line. After what seemed like an eternity his fish hit the deck. The crew was really on top of their game on this one. We taped the fish out at 301. Hopefully it doesn't lose too much weight in the brine on the way home. That was a great show but earlier in the day Marc Schmidt got into a real battle on his 80-pound straight tie to a 6/0 Super Mutu. This fish took him around the boat 6 or 7 times in addition to throwing the outfit into the water on the backup rig. We had to chase it down in our brand new 116-foot skiff. He also was on it for quite a while. When it was all said and done it taped out at 344 pounds. I know we said we were leaving cow town but on the way up one of the crew saw some interesting things so we made a change of plans. It sure paid off for those two lucky anglers. Tonight we are moving in to make some bait before we bug out to fish a little further up the line. Hopefully we get into some wide-open action tomorrow."
Those 300-pounders should earn their catchers a free trip later on the boat for their feats, as recent advertisements have promised.
