It was midday on Saturday, December 18th, while Jackie was preparing lunch and Chris was napping when both rods whirred!  Not to be outdone, Holt Farley and Mike Laughlin rushed aft to take the rods and reel in the fish. 

Since we had previously lost two good strikes, tension mounted until both fish were aboard.  Then Mike's tried to make a quick exit through a scupper until he put a knee on him and succeeded in holding him down! 

After Chris showed them how to strip the skin and fillet the fish, the gentlemen fishermen overran the galley to wrap and freeze their catch.  These photos tell the real truth!
