Title: Slowly - (more like quickly) becoming a Tuna freak!
Post by: cohoho on August 16, 2015, 03:00:13 PM: Plugged the boat yesterday with Kerry, plugged the boat with Ryan the week before and struck out at the WTC- weather at 50 miles out beat our butts!! Now I know I need a 30ft boat without doubt, come on two years or son - graduate early!!!!! Not sure the 23ft Wooldridge is up for the task quite yet, atleast til the water settles down a bit....

It is only still Aug!

I keep looking at the Wooldridge and asking it to grow 5 to 6 ft... and to add a self bailing deck, add a bigger tank, add life raft, add more safety gear, add more electronics, add more fish holds, add a second 225hp motor and add a 50 gallon bait tank.... But it didn't happen! Maybe too safety minded, after the WTC this year and what it blew in, these items are really nice to have!

That WTC weather was nothing short of fun...not really. We got hammered to. Boat size really doesn't matter when 10-12' ers are breaking over the boat.

Highlight for me was getting a wounded warrior into his first albi on Fri. Good times. Next year :tup:
