cool job versus having fun-you pick

I heard you can catch crabs from tuna...

Seriously...tuna and halibut are HUGE FF! My parents owned a fish and chip store and when the guy deliverd the halibut for my dad it was a big as a side of beef...that's probably why I don't like swimming in salt water...Big, big, big BIG FISH...

I guess you can't catch them in a net...but that boat looks kinda small...how many big fish can you get on one of those before you're drawing water?

it's not too small, it's 58ft and as for tuna the only way i know of catching them is by trolling with jigs, you attach rubbersnubbers to the poles that come out behind the cabin [up to 4] per side with tuna cord off of that and at the end of the tuna cord you attach 100plus lb. mono with a jig and run @ 6knots. i must also mention that picture was taken w/35,000lbs of dogfish and as for "taking on water" if you mean water across the deck it depends on weather and how many lbs you have on board[ we had our decks running water on occasion in that picture but it was pretty crapy out and that was just crossing the straight of jaun de fuca @ 2miles from hine bank and 20 miles from port angeles[ it was @ 8-10 ft wind waves]
