| BHM&TC Junior Angler Lands 80+ lb Black Drum |
 |
| At about 6 pm. on 05/09/04, nine year old Jon-Michael Cucinotta landed a black drum on the Michele C after a 45 minute fight. It weighed about 80 lbs. Captain Mike had to come off the ball and chase the big fish down as young Jon-Michael was running out of line. Parents Mike and Michele did all they could do to hoist the fish over the gunnel. The vessel Red Dog from West Creek witnessed the catch and took some pictures. Bill Force Sr. was kind enough to take the pictures with his camera. He is also a wildlife artist and taxidermist at West Creek Studio. The big Drum was released unharmed to fight another day.
CONGRATULATIONS JON-MICHAEL! |
