six years ago not to do so, as I gotscreamed at a lot.Karl was not gaining much onhis fish. I was losing ground onmine. There were only a few withouta fish on - - they tried to stayout of way of the “bent-double”rods. Remember, weʼre using lighttackle and the mackerel alreadygaffed and brought aboard were averagingwell over 20 pounds. I wasstill losing ground. I looked at myreel and noticed I was almost outof line - then PING! - - I was outof line. Karl was very slowly gainingon his. It had already been wellover 30 minutes since we hookedup. Big king mackerel were floppingall over the deck by then. Thecaptain came down from his highperch and helped with the gaffingand re-baiting. Petite Natalie wasrunning around with her gaff tryingto keep up with the fish as they laytethered next to the boat. These arethe strongest fish Iʼve every caughton light tackle. Thereʼs no quit tothem. It was impossible to lift themonto the deck as it was way too highfrom the water line, so everyonehad to wait patiently for the longgaff-hook.

Fortunatelythere were several extra rigsso no one had to wait around andmiss the action.Things slowed down after awhile and the captain announced,“Reel in, weʼre moving on.” Wemotored about 10 minutes and baitedup again. This spot would turnout to be the “arm breaker.”Located on Rt. 220UPPER TRACT, WV304-358-7321TROUTFISHINGSUPPLIESEvery time we threw out therewas a big mackerel waiting. Thekings were taking the bait on topwater and exploding into the air.This was how they earned theirnickname: Silver torpedoes.For the majority of time in thenext two hours, all 11 of us (oneguy was seasick and stayed inside)were hooked-up at the same time.It was CHAOTIC on board! Peoplewere going left and right, and overand under other fishermen, tryingdesperately to keep our fish straightout. Capt. Stowe had to come downfrom top deck to help bring the fishaboard. He would rant and rave atus anytime something wasnʼt doneright. Nobody cared - - we werehaving too much fun. Natalie wasworn out and would curse aloudanytime she missed a gaff.If someone from above were takinga video of this surreal, crazy action,it would be a classic.
