Fishing Aboard the "Sandy K"

With Capt Don, Hoagy, & Larry

 

Hoagy on the reel...this is a rare

occurance indeed. Notice that

the capt. is having a cup of

coffee as I snap this picture.

Poor Hoagy...

This is this marlin Hoagy had

his hands full with.

Good job Hoagy

I suppose some credit should be

given to the captain. Here you can

see his gloved hand on the marlin's

bill. If the fish is in the boat then

rest assured that I gaffed it.

Back at the pier Hoagy & Don

take a quick pose with the catch

from this trip.

I know we've caught other fish

than marlin, but I'm posting these

as I find them.

Hoagy & Don takes a break on

the bridge while I take this picture

just after my nap. What you don't

see is where hoagy doubles times

down the ladder to get his nap.

There aren't many fish on this cart

but we were luckier than most on

this day.

This is a shot of the tuna boat

working outside of Pearl Harbor.

I often claim to be the hardest

working person aboard the

"Sandy K", but from the photos

I'm posting you wouldn't believe

me. Here Hoagy washes down

after a day at sea. This is when

the crew runs for cover to keep

from being hosed ourselves.

Our first marlin of the new year.

This one Hoagy kept in the boat

unlike our last marlin which threw

the hooks and jumped out of the

boat back into the water. Honest!
