My friend George needed a motor for his 14 foot welded Aluminum skiff so I fixed/gave him an old jonny/rude 25 & said bring me some fish, Well he did...... 256 lb Halibutt not bad for a old 25...jonny/rude yummmmmmmmy

Now that's payback. How did he manage to get that aboard a 14' tinny?

Megaflounder! Must've felt like reeling up a sheet of plywood. Did he like the motor itself?

I wish my motor could catch fish like that. Gotta another one?

Yep He likes the old motor but puts way to much faith in it, He does carry a cell phone and a newer back up kicker, But still goes out alone and tangles with these monsters, He said he stuck it in the head/gills with a big knife to make it bleed & then waits......Not exactly sure how he gets them in the skiff. It don't show in the photo's but this fish was over a foot thick!

Well, don't worry about the antique Big Twin. If it's tuned right, it'll be more reliable than that "back up kicker"

Those old Big Twins were tough as nails and built to last.

Darned nice lookin Halibut.
