Well, this morning running from storm cells was interesting to say the least šŸ˜‚ but these boys pulled through and managed to stick a 46ā€ fish just 10 minutes after the storm passed.

We may have only gotten one fish to go home with, but these guys deserved every inch of this one. They fished nonstop all day long and, as many of you know, jigging for a full day is some seriously hard work.

That 46ā€ came early, and these guys spent the rest of the day grinding trying to put another one in the boat. They never let up until it was time to head home.

Boxed up at first light and ended up going 6/6 today. It was sure windy but it didnā€™t stop us from having a hell of a day on the water!

Not every shotā€™s textbook, but when the moment hits, you make it count. Less than perfect gaff placement, sure, but we adapted, landed it, and the rush was unreal. Thatā€™s fishing. Chaos. Quick calls. Heart. Iā€™ve got three openings this week, Wednesday the 26th, Thursday the 27th, Friday the 28th. Forecast looks decent, but always weather dependent. Lock it in while the windowā€™s there.

At this point, I think we need to officially rename the brown shark the new Long Island Sound striped bass. šŸ˜‚

We went out today and hooked FIVE of them within the first hour. Five. In one hour.

Itā€™s funny until you realize how crazy that actually is.

These sharks have become an almost constant presence in the Sound. Weā€™re seeing them shallow, seeing fins cruising around the boat, watching them chase plugs and live bait, and hooking them while weā€™re actively trying to target striped bass.

A few years ago, hooking a brown shark was something worth talking about. Now there are days where it feels harder not to hook one.

We can joke about them being the new striped bass, but the numbers weā€™re seeing firsthand are getting pretty wild. When you can hook five brown sharks in an hour without targeting sharks, it raises a legitimate question about what this growing population is doing to the rest of the fishery.

At this rate, we might have to start calling it the Long Island Shark Sound. šŸ˜‚šŸ¦ˆ

This is the kind of footage you almost never get to see.

We drop the GoPro down and catch the fish pinwheeling toward the surface. Then, out of nowhere, it turns and rockets off on another run, disappearing completely from the frame.

The camera comes back into the boat, and you donā€™t even need to see the fish anymore. The sound of the drag screaming tells the rest of the story.

Volume up for this one!

Cruising past Montauk Lighthouse on our way out to the tuna grounds when a pod of dolphins decided to make an appearance.

The lighthouse behind us, dolphins cruising along the shoreline, and a full day of chasing bluefin ahead.

Not a bad way to start the morning.
