Hello everyone, I haven't been on in a while I hope all is good. I fished the tournament last week and congratulations to the Gina Lisa (31 Bertram) for winning heaviest Mako! I made a video Gina Lisa was positioned behind me in the shot gun start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osq9Xn-E2Mc&lc=z23cs...

Jimmy- Welcome back and thanks for sharing this. I'm told to triple check that the auto land is set to return to controller and not departure point and all will be well. No insurance just makes for focused pilots! After that air show and fight I'm glad I was not he undertaker - afraid I'd hit the l...

Ate him tonight lol they are delicious on the grill just like swordfish or tuna, you are only aloud 1 per trip and there is a length requirement, highly regulated

JimmyG

Great video... I never knew sharks were such ferocious jumpers... What do you shoot them with?!... A slug?!...[/quote]
Thanks, I just use low brass 6 shot, the concussion kills them I usually don't shoot them until its harpooned or fly gaffed

Well it's was a eventful winter to say the least kids moving out, wedding plans going awry and pops having two strokes the last one a major one but i'm glad to say he is home and doing as well as can be expected. Thank you again for the support! After the dust settled I was able to get the boat wet ...

I sent it to Bertram on Facebook and they loved it thanks for the idea

That's one bad boat and video. You need to turbocharge your bilge pump and plug your hawse pipes. Best fishing you tube I've seen and the 31's not bad either. I just purchased 2 Nerf foot balls to stuff in the hauser ports, those big cupped four blades really suck me down, I wish I knew a way to fi...

Outstanding, Jimmy; but you've got too many fat guys at the transom to be backing down so hard! Great job on the helm and glad you have good bilge pumps. The quality of your videos is second to none! LOL yea I added a pump I now have 3 pumps just for this occasion (5000 GPH) and the high water alar...

A few weeks ago I was going to post a video of one of the best billftshing days I ever had but to my surprise I read Capt Pat's goodbye and thought in light of that it was inappropriate to post my video, On the ride out this past weekend (lady's day tournament-video soon) a 3 hour jaunt to the deep ...

Yes they are better then Tuna in many peoples opinion and you wouldn't tell the difference from sword fish.

Nice work as always..

I thought it would be snottier than that given the winds. Did not look too bad.

It was bad off shore but the ride in and out both days was tolerable

JimmyG

Had a blast this past weekend even though the weather was "sporty" and fishing was slow but we managed to catch a few Mako's here is the video

JimmyG

I had issues with all 3 lights I purchased, didn't last but a few months but after a few calls he made good on all and the new generation lights are working great

Yea Carl I even used "the best" anti freeze there were no cracks in the pumps just wouldn't turn on, as far as the elbows Cummins had a bad batch (to much penetration in the welds)

JimmyG

Hit the water a week ago and after one year actually one 6 month season ...thats all I got out of my fresh water pump ($85.00), AC pump ($250.00) and a 2 Cummins elbows (warranty) Really!!!

I brought my boat down to Jersey Cape from Manasquan for the winter of 2010/2011. Super nice place. There were a few reasons why I never went back but the 85 mile ride from North Jersey was the main one.. I spend many days in the winter just messing around with the damm thing and the ride got to me...

Ocean,Pacemaker,Luhrs,Viking,Silverton. That's who comes to mind as past and present Jersey boats. Who did I forget? .......and not positive on Silverton.

Jimmy, Love what you did with the boat, love all your videos and I love shark fishing. But.....For me personally if you are going to worry about beating the boat up while fishing I'm not sure I'd want it new and shiny in the first place. Of course it's your boat to do what you want, but battle scar...

Close but no cigar a Mako had to be 200 pounds to weigh in and thats what won the jackpot $137,000.00 we had a great 2 day tournament we caught 5 Makos to a 160 pounds.3 Blue dogs and a couple Browns. The shot gun start was a blast.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3oGgHNYTTI
