hogfish 2-7-09.jpg

When the tuna fishing is slow on the Lump, you can usually find something interesting down below. This one is a first for us: a spotfin hogfish. Ken Jennings from Gary, Indiana brought this little freak up from the bottom. While we didn’t catch any tunas on this particular day, we also set a new boat record for the most beeliners caught in a day at 49. Thank goodness I found my electric knife.
