Lucky Max


Max Puyanic has been fishing with me on the L&H for over fifteen years and is always very lucky. Today was no exception. On the way to the bait patch I spotted one of the most beautiful sights any captain could hope to see, a huge school of cobias over the white sand! Wes did a great job shifting gears from getting ready to catch bait to crushing cobias. Max was in Austrailia for a few months and on his first day back on the L&H he never missed a beat. In a matter of seconds Max, his guest for the day Jim, and Wes were all fishting fish 40 to 50 pounds. Our team had to work quick because the school was moving offshore and it would be impossible to stay with them once they got over the edge. In a span of twenty minutes our cobia killers landed 15 fish keeping our limit and releasing the rest to fight another day. It was an awsome sight to behold from my perch in the tower, and all I could do was smile and shout praise to the team as everything went smooth as I could ever hope. After the L&H finished with the cobia school we moved offshore and caught a couple nice tuna, a few bonitas and two big cudas. We came in early on a half day with everyone sporting big smiles as we pulled into the dock with a boxful of fish!
