He decided to go back to Madeira after a great short season last year catching a bunch of big fish. He capped off his great Madeira season coming home on our 37 Merritt Northern Lights 1 by catching a 1309 Blue with Kyle Vannatta. Here is a nice blue he caught on his first day. They were 2-2 on on blues releasing a 550 and a 650 with his crew David Borges. From the looks of it the boys are going to need help winding them in or David will need an arm replacement soon. Stay tuned it’s going to be a good one over there !! Go get em Mat”
