On 6-25-08 Rob Michalowski and his Dad Joe, fishing on their boat “Stogie II” out of Oceanside, hooked this HUGE, 480 POUND, Thresher while fishing around the Glory Hole. They fought this fish for OVER FOUR HOURS… then it took them almost SIX HOURS to drag it home!

This is a fish of a lifetime… a HUGE CAUSEWAY CONGRATS to Rob and his Dad Joe!

Rob was using a Calstar 6455XH rod, custom built for him by us… Causeway… paired with an Avet EXW30/2. They used a 400lb Wind-On leader, a 6′ piece of 240 pound test single strand wire and a Mustad 7699 Hook.

Here are a few other great pics too!

OK… here’s a good one. This fish was caught with BARE HANDS… no rod and reel! On 6-25-08, Anthony Giampaolo was fishing at Overlook Beach (Captree State Park) when he noticed something swimming along the beach up shallow. When he got a closer look he noticed it was a Striped Bass and it looked like something was wrong with it. So he reached into the water, grabbed the fish and when he was carrying up on to the shore he saw what looked like a small Fluke or Flounder STUCK IN IT’S THROAT… The fish was basically choking on it. Figuring no one would believe this story, he brought it to us to weigh and showed us it’s mouth. We reached in, pulled it out and it was about a 10″ long Sun Dial Fish pointed head first down the mouth of the Bass!

Although it’s not common, we’ve heard stories like this many times with Bunker, Fluke, Flounder, Porgies, Sea Bass and even Blackfish.

Chris (in the yellow shirt), the official Causeway “Off-Shore” guy, took up an invite with Claudio Facchini, Ralph  Facchini and Ralph Facchini Jr. to go Shark fishing on 6-25-08. In addition to a few Blue Sharks and one other smaller Mako in the slick, they hooked and landed this 175 pound Mako while fishing a little North West of “Rock Piles 3″.

Chris brought along his 50 wides rigged with Momoi Wind-On leaders and a short piece of 240 pound test wire leader attached to an Eagle Claw 19/0 Circle hook. They used a Mackerel fillet to bait him!

Now here is a great story…. Tom Martiello (left) and Brian Mott (right) were fishing in the back bays on Wednesday, June 18th, when they boated this 13 1/2 pounder. Tom, as we all know at Causeway, prefers to fish with fresh Bunker for bait, but we had apparently run out of fresh Bunker. Tom, AGAINST his better judgement, decided to use Clams, considering we had fresh clams in stock. See Tom? We told ya…. Clams work too! LOL LOL
