Had a good weather day aboard the Stress Free yesterday and the fish were chewing. Got some really fat mangos with the biggest one weighing 14. Got a few red snappers and a one huge one caught on the 9/0 that I got from Sal. Super reel. Mangos are normally very line shy so it was huge surprise to catch the big mango on the big rod with a 8/0 3x circle hook on 100 lb leader and a live bait hanging about 30 ft down. Thought it was another big red. Could have loaded the box with a lot more but my buddy is insulin dependent and the heat was getting to him so we had to quit early. Still got a pile of meat in fridge.

Doing great buddy! ... love that last pic, the 9/0 looks like a 2/0 next to that monster.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Yes, my buddy and I bought it 50/50 a few months ago. Had it custom built at Dusky.

Posted pics some time back. Easiest thing to do is go to Dusky.com and in models choose 252 Tournament. That style is very open with a coffin fish box in front of the console. We got the live well under the leaning post so the back of the boat is open.  Powered with twin 115 etecs. Top end is 42 and we cruise around 32 when seas are good. Wide flare bow is very dry riding. Only time you get any spray is a hard side wind.

Good going Dwight.  That is really stress free fishing.  Great name BTW.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

The 14 lb mango is near the center of the table (4th from the bottom of the pic). Shows how big all of them were.
