An incredible day on Seawolf

On Labor Day, out around the northern portion of the Norfolk Canyon, the group was in the midst of a white hot white marlin bite. Everybody on Dwight Wolf's boat was getting in on the action. When the group decided to call it quits, they had caught and released 20 white marlin. They didn't have any more flags to fly.

Have the power to fish longer with today’s equipment

When I think about the evolution of fishing boats, it’s mind-boggling. In the early days of my fishing career, guiding and chasing the tournament trails, my fishing boat was a pretty simple outfit. It measured 16 feet, had a 40-horse outboard, a 12-volt trolling motor and a single flasher for sonar. The only electric accessories were the necessities: navigation lights and a bilge pump. One 12-volt battery ran the whole shootin’ match.
