I need a bigger boat !

What I (we) want to know is just how you managed to get that 750 lb. slob onboard??

Although I don't have the exact answer, it was probably done one of 3 ways - 1) using a come-along mounted to the t-top either hauling it through a transom door or over the rail, 2) using a slide mounted to the gunwale, or 3) using a teeter board mounted to the gunwale. If I remember correctly, Nick's friend Jimmy (the guy who caught the fish) runs a 30+-foot inboard-powered CC, so it might have a transom door.

Ohhhh, so that's not an 18ft Seacraft?? NICE fish though. Sort of pays for the trip...

I saw some pictures of this on another forum this morning. The fish was brought over the side with a block and tackle off the t-top lifting the head, then three guys lifting the tail over the rail. The boat didn't even seem to be listing to the side with the fish and three guys on the rail, very impressive.

Amazing, amazing fish!

I was not aboard on this trip and Jimmy did not call me?
He knows i would have thrown that pig in the boat faster than Hancock

So he had to do it the old way, 3 Greek boys!

That SeaVee is also a pig, talk about stable!!!!

Holy S##t, that looks even bigger than before! Tell your bud there congrats on being able to pay off his boat with one fish!!!!

So it wasn't the "Not-so-Old Man and the Sea"!

It's amazing how a bottle of ouzo can make greeks do extraordinary things.

One other thing. If you think watching a fish go over the rail of this boat is amazing. You should see the owner towing it down 1-495 with an F350.

Hey Trident,

You don't happen to be the owner of that F-350, are you?

Never saw that boat trailered with an F350
If you do, call the cops as Jimmy drives a "pre-Obama" Chevy 2500HD duramax ...
