I brought him up to the boat on the bow (less crowded, and that's where he went). About a 10 foot drop to the water so he had to be gaffed. So he was stabbed there with a sharp hook on the end of a bamboo pole... and hoisted aboard that way. I had 40 lb line with a 30 lb fluorocarbon leader, but I wasn't about to see if it would hold him... or if the hook would stay in.

That was hilarious... but it's a hand towel, not a pad. 😰

The boat I was on in Jamaica brought one but it wasn't me unfortunately... thought it was interesting how he changed colors as he died after the dude clubbed him... 😟

Why do you wish it was you that was clubbed? Not a nice thing to do to a guy who's got a big fish in his hands. What colors did he turn? Sounds bizarre and grotesque to me. Is this like Russian Roulette? You may get clubbed next.

That boonie was issued to me. It made its way to Baghdad, Fallujah, and back to the house.
