For the next 10 or so hours you are on the chunk and it can be wild. The mate starts throwing out the cut Butterfish 5 or 6 pieces at a time and you and your friends ask if you can help, after a 2 minute school you are responsible for chunking the cut baits. It's now pitch black in the Hudson and all you can see is the faint lights of the other sport fishing boats in the Canyon. Immediatley he sends it out on a standup 50 outfit and within 2 minutes line is screaming off the outfit. Ten minutes later two 70lb.
Yellowfins are in the box and the school is under the boat.
The mate is now chunking because you are catching squid for live bait. Two hours later you guys are soaked with sweat and 13 70-80lb Yellowfins are in the box. It's midnight and you and your buddies take advantage of the lull to eat. After eating you take a snooze while the mate tends to the chunking duties. Here he comes WOW the mate takes the long gaff and the captain grabs the leader.
