I can tell you that he isn't lying. I was fishing with him, Capt Jesse Arsola, Jesse's son Payton, and Mark(?) can't remember his last name, in Marks new 25ft Transport XLR8. Bad *** boat we ran 35-40 mph coming in and it handled the 2fter's with no problem.
We boxed a limit of snaps, and some gray's, had 4 or 5 little to medium kings on light tackle, and a couple small ling from under the shrimp boats, and of course sharks and a few reds. Lost something big that took me into an anchor chain...the cork sucker!!!
Good day, and I took a few pics early of Payton and Jesse holding a king, but no more after that due to fishing, sweating my azz off, drinking a few, and being tired. Meant to get some at the cleaning table, but didn't feel like getting the camera out...sorry if that makes the report not true.
