Booja, I am sorry that I did not respond promptly. I was on a weeks vacation. (I wish it was to say that I was drying out from Tuna Anonymous withdrawls.) The picture was taken from my nephews website. The fisherman is guide Patrick Roelle of FISHPATRICK'S Guide Service from Eugene. Rich took him out tuna fishing last year and they caught a dozen tuna in a couple of hours. That was when the fish were fifteen miles from WB. Funny you should mention the starboard hand line. Right after the picture was snapped or during the picture, Rich almost dropped the camera from the fly bridge trying to get Pat to grab the handline. The fish almost got thrown overboard in the panic.

The rod holders are from Lininger in Oakland, CA. They are pretty good rodholders for sea going boats. All brass. The only drawback is they get really warped when the guys miss a hookup on albies.
