capt's kevin gerrity and dave bender took brian klingerman of richboro, pa and friends to the hudson canyon on an overnighter thursday july 22, 2010. the ride out and the thursday troll were sporty to say the least but the forecast was a diminishing one so we set out east. we went 2 for 4 on 50 pound yellowfins on the troll thursday before setting up for the night. after only about an hour on the chunk we heard that awesome noise that was void the past two years, zing! a fifty pound yellowfin in the box. the rest of the night we went 3 for 4 on the same size fish, until 4am we had them in the slick. the guys who were new to canyon fishing got a quick education and when the smoke cleared we had 11 yellowfins on ice. we jigged several of the fish on butterfly jigs. back on the troll friday morning we had a screamer within 100 yards of our slick, we thought we had the right one until the jump, big blue marlin aprox 450-500lbs. with less than 10 wraps on the reel we backed down for about an hour, we were now in control, it appeared that we may get a clean release on this beauty, but as luck would have it 20' from the leader she shook loose, ahhhh! that was our only bite of the day, with the exception of another blue marlin who hit two lures but never came tight, all in all the klingerman's are " hooked" to say the least.
