We got a new to us boat and needed to see what worked and what didn't and thresher trolling seemed like the way do it.
Bait tank looked good but small with a couple dozen mackeral swimming around. The Yamaha fourstroke is really nice 51 miles on 14 gallons of gas. It was really cool having all the space after moving up from the 19 ft c/c.
The fish hit a purple Bait -o- Matic from Leadmaster's with a bridle rigged mackeral on a single hook. It took about 35 minutes for her to get it boatside then the fun began.
Here's Billfish trying to revive it

It weighed 194 bled and is her biggest fish
