Downrigger Captain
Was it really my fish and should I be pissed off?
A friend and I went charter fishing in the tropics and agreed to take turns catching fish. A rod gets hit and he tells me to go first, and I catch a small tuna. Later another rod gets hit and he starts reeling it in, then another one and it’s handed to me, but after a few reels there is nothing on the line so I set it back down. He keeps reeling his & catches a small tuna.
An hour later something big hits the downrigger pole and he grabs it right away and reels in a trophy baracuda- like an 80lb fish. The captain wants to know if we want to have it mounted and my friend looks at me like I’m supposed to pay the $400 for mounting (I had already paid for his plane ticket and hotel room as a gift cause he’s broke plus he still owes me $100 from something else).
I tell him that he caught it so he has to pay for it if he wants it mounted. So he says he doesn’t have the cash and the captain cuts it free and it swims away.
Wasn’t it my turn and should I be pissed off about it?
sounds a little fishy have you mounted his fish before or is this your first time fishing cut this one loose once i split a boat with a stranger in cabo we fliped a coin for first fish he won he caught a marlin 205 lbs black marlin he reeled it in for about 10 min got rubber armed passed it to his son same thing rubber arm i took the rod by this time their pucking over board so i reeled in their fish and they want to go back they wanted to keep the fish when we got back to the dock they left the fish
there on the boat it cost 200.00 dollars the next day went by my self 136lbs stripped marlin on the wall at home dont lose a friend over a fish
