On June first through the third i went out on on a 48hr, long range fishing trip on the "Big E". it is the newest, biggest, baddest and best fishing machine on the waters today. It is operated by Captain Elliott's Party Boats, Inc. It is a custom built 130' fishing boat designed for speed and comfort. This boat surpasses any fishing boat I have ever been on. The bunks have curtains, there is great AC and a large inside open cabin with several microwaves etc. They have 3 big Plasma TVs with 5.1 surround sound including one theater room with comfortable reclining seats. Current movies are always playing. The Captains electronics are also connected to the plasma TVs so occasionally you will see the full screen views of the bottom structure in full color. So, if you are looking for a fun, comfortable, long range charter I highly recommend Captain Elliott's Party Boats, Inc. I had the good fortune to catch my first Yellow Fin Tuna on this trip. It weighed in at 100lbs. All the other Yellow Fin's caught on that trip ranged a respectable 40-60lbs. While landing my tuna many of us saw several other Yellow Fin following my catch in and one was clearly 50% larger than the one I hooked. The biggest tip I learned from other experienced fishermen on the boat is that if you are fishing chunk bait is critical to hide the hook and any other hardware. I did just that and it paid off for me. The following pictures are of me fighting that 100lb+lb. Yellow Fin Tuna, 200 miles out in the gulf near the Red Hawk rig. I hope you enjoy them. Frank
