Happy birthday to my not so little girl. Dr. Amber Hendricks. Very proud Dad. She loves being an ER surgeon almost as much as she loves catching giant bluefin.

I believe that we all can relate to this great song by The Gasoline Gypsies. This song was going to be the song played at the prestigious Bluefin Blowout tournament, if we caught a giant bluefin. Caleb Malooley, the lead singer of The Gasoline Gypsies was aboard for the tournament, and we fished hard. No bluefin for us this year. "It'll be alright, ain't got to win every time. Gotta play the hand you've been given." Looking forward to seeing the Gasoline Gypsies at The Green Way Outdoors premier event on September 14. A few tickets are left. I look forward to seeing you there.

The Bluefin Blowout of 2025 has came to another successful end. I heard that over 2.2 million was raised for the Alzheimers Association. We fished extremely hard. Only 14 boats, out of 117, caught a fish to be weighed in. Tough bite. What a blast to be fishing with Caleb Malooley from The Gasoline Gypsies. He is a great fisherman and jumped right in and helped set lines, check baits, and had a blast bait fishing. One of my best memories, during this tournament, will be when Caleb brought out his guitar and sung for us out on Jeffrey's ledge. No hook up by the Linwood Michigan based boat this year. Thank you to everyone following along and wishing us well and thank the good Lord for keeping us safe.

Reality check 2025. Bluefin tuna fishing pushes the line of insanity. Every day we try again hoping for a different result. Maybe this will be the day the giant bluefin have moved in and are hungry. I fish daily offshore trying different locations. Hoping one of the boats in the fleet gets a bite. Not one hook up by any rod and reel boat so far in the fleet. I hear story's from Wicked Tuna Captain Bill and Donna Monte, vessel Bounty Hunter, Captain Paul Hebert, vessel Wicked Pissah, and my friend Peter Decarolis, vessel Miss Sydney, of years of poor fishing like this. The spirit of the Gloucester fishermen is inspirational. The good Lord has given me this opportunity and I will be on the water tomorrow before the sun comes up fishing for the elusive giant bluefin with a thankful heart, body and soul.
