September 2nd. 1977. I'm standing on the right. The guy in the
white shirt kneeling on the left and I were working on a boat called
the Halter 60. Another boat, captained by the fellow standing on
the left, had this fish on and the angler wanted to mount it. I don't
remember exactly what the deal was but I think the mate may
have had some kind of problem with his hand and couldn't handle
the wire. The captain asked if we could transfer over to his boat
and help land the fish. My associate, the now late Terry Burnett,
wired the fish and I gaffed. I think this was the biggest blue marlin
I ever put in the boat.
