Awesome, we're booking another trip in Oct and we were just discussing this the other night, we whooped them 50-70lbers pretty quick back in May.

We may not appear to be the ultimate robust anglers per below photo but I promise, dem' ladies put an arse whooping on some big fish over here in Fl and I aint handing off no friggin pole to no one....Lol!!!!

Can't wait til Oct!!!!

Damn I'm pumped. Meaux, you making the October trip with Paul?

I'm on one of em for sure

I haven't told him the date yet! :D

Are you the same meaux from TD.com?

Not on tigerdroppings if that is what you're talkin about

All I can say is ya better eat your wheaties cause them big YF are a beast. I did about 20-30 mins on the reel and was beat. But like Meaux said it was the last fish of the day after 12 hrs on the water.
Josh Howard wouldnt quit till we was happy. Cant say enough about the man and his dedication to his work.

Man that's tough. Pound for pound an AJ is a mean SOB. But tuna are a heavy fight. Not to mention most tuna you catch are bigger than th aj you catch. If you lined up a 100# tuna and 100# aj it would be a tight race. The last few feet are the worst on tuna. When they turn sideways and swim in circles. It's almost like you can't move em lol

I think AJs probably fight harder than tuna but it don't take as long to get em in. It's a different fight too AJs stay stuck in one spot, Tuna run

Tuna never stop swimming and are built for speed. All mussle.

Amberjack are mules but tire out quickly.

Peace Marvel would get my vote,he doesn't have the biggest boat in the fleet but he is undeniably the best at YFT,and swordfish,he rarely runs over 20 miles out and he gets em,let's just say the few times I've been with him the other boats came into the area we were fishing after our crew had been slap worn out that says it all he just has a knack 4 it

Only problem is he STAYS booked

I've been with Peace and he is a great guy but I've had more fun and caught more fish on my trips with Josh Howard. Now if you wanna catch swords Peace is the man
