Monroe legend Tommy Smith graced the decks of the KRAKEN with his smiling presence during mid-December for a quick wahoo rip. The tunas didn’t cooperate like they had the week before, but the wahoos were there to pick up the slack. Tommy brought his tackle coach Dr. Doug Liles just in case we needed help rigging a B2 squid. Having this crew on board made it pretty easy on me, because with Doug, Tommy and Rifat aboard I didn’t have to worry even once about providing entertainment.
We are just aboat ready to call it a year and 2007 has been a good one. Hope to see you in 2008.

With crew members coming from as far away as Iraq and the Arctic Circle, the Will Roman crew gets some serious points for total distance traveled to come tuna fishing. Some might suggest they were also coming home to see their families for the holidays, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. They were rewarded for their efforts: 7 tunas over 80 lbs in 2 days, including a 122 pounder and the 136 pound fish shown below. Not bad, considering it was their first trip for tuna.
