Day 1, we caught four Blue sharks up to 150 lbs. We also had a large fish tail-wrapped, it chafed the line, and broke free.

Day 2, we went to the 40-fathom point, 30 miles from Montauk Point, and caught one Mako, 179 lbs., and won second heaviest Mako for a cool $6K. We also caught and released two blue sharks up to 120 lbs. Hats off to Bob Wranovic, Mike and Jon Tuscano, Charlie Balducci, John Caiarco, and Super Mate Mark Dombrowski!
