Capt. Mark DeBlasio and mates Tom Kelly and Ed Farrell were back at it down in Morehead Tuesday on the Canyon Runner after being stuck on land since Friday due to weather. The day did not look promising as few if any bites were being reported on the radio. By 1pm many boats headed home but the crew stuck it out and were rewarded at 3pm with a bite on the planner rod.
The Berkley 220# spectra was being pealed from the reel rather quickly but they got the fish under control and 30 minutes later Capt. Mark threw the Poon Harpoon and it landed home true. This fish was 82" and is their lucky number seventh bluefin over 73" in the last two weeks with 6 of those fish over 80".
