HARD LUCK CHANGES TO GOOD LUCK!

Tra Storey & crew wanted to go fishing in spite of the bad forecast, but weather turned out far better than we expected...... Had a slow start but got around some whales and had some bites, but as has been the case for the last several weeks, lost several to sharks.... then the bigeyes hit us..... pulled the hook on two but fought one for an hour, had it right to the boat when a hugh shark, every bit of 400# got hold of the bigeye right there at the boat with fish on the leader... and when the bloody melee was over, Mikey Fulchum pulled the head of a 180# bigeye in the boat....!$@#$!%
Got set out and hooked another bigeye, but we put to much heat on it trying to get it away from the sharks and broke the line....@#$!%#@$@..... I was not in a good mood at that point!!.. But then things went our way as we hooked another bigeye, but Reginald White, from Roanoke Rapids, worked his butt off and I eased the boat away from the whales, and somehow we elluded the sharks and Reggie boated a 174# bigeye in 40 minutes.... Got set back out, it was getting late, we hooked another yellowfin but the sharks got it.... I said lets set out one more time as the tuna were jumping around us.... I had the two long baits out and was setting another when I saw a fin behind one bait, thought it was another damm shark, was looking elsewhere when that rod bowed over.....didn't know if it was a tuna or a shark or what as it was pulling drag but staying on top.... we cleared the lines and were backing up hopeing if it was a tuna we could get it before the sharks, it went deep, we stopped backing up and put the heat on it, when suddenly a school of dolphin swam up so we were trying to hook a few of them when suddenly the damm fish we had on started jumping....HOOKED UP BLUE MARLIN.... Tra Storey, from Jackson, NC, had had hard luck all day, but he got in the chair and had a blast fighting, catching and releasing a 300# blue marlin that jumped all around the boat, to end the day!
