The Ultimate in Standup Big Game Fishing

This is a photograph taken on Jan 10, showing how the Pro Dennis Braid lands a 650 Lb Bluefin Tuna using his his Braid Bucket Harness while standing up. Dennis is one of the few anglers in the world that has caught these giant fish, using the standup technique.

Dennis was on the Delta Dawn cruiser out of Moorehead City, NC. The Owner/Captain is Pete Manuel. There were three anglers on board: Dennis Braid, Brian Nelson, who is the newly appointed Vice President of Marketing for Penn Reels, and Dick Meirowitz

Dennis also landed a 360 Lb Bluefin. This is a catch & release trip so all of the fish were safely released
