Great things happen on the Bunny Clark from time to time and from a fisherman's point of view. I mention point of view only because fishing is a lot like golf in that, if you aren't into it, it's hard to understand why anyone would like being involved in it. To me, golf is, as Mark Twain is quoted; "A good walk spoiled." Many people don't understand the lure of fishing, no pun intended. If you take this a bit further, not many could understand why I like taking people fishing, my father included. He tried taking anglers fishing and didn't last but a couple of days at it. To me, fishing wouldn't be as enjoyable without taking people. I believe I live through them. There are some that you just know, when you have these specific people aboard, that good things will happen. There are others that you just wish something great would happen but you just can't get them over the line. I do feel responsible for angler's crash landings. Sometimes I'm directly responsible, like the time I cut Karl Day's (ME) leader line thinking it was the angler's leader that was tangled with Karl's leader that had his biggest ever halibut on the other end! (I beat myself up for weeks over that mistake). Then there are anglers who you have had with you over the years that you take just so they can get that special fish. One such angler was on the Special Offshore Fishing Trip (SOFT) on July 20/21, 2026, a twenty-two hour trip I take annually that is specifically designed to hunt down halibut as the prime target but includes other special fish as well. That angler was Jeff Corey (MA) who has fished with me (and Captain Ian Keniston) on the Bunny Clark for forty years. I had invited him on this trip in hopes that he would catch his biggest halibut. I had never invited him on this, what I consider, special trip before. As most know, you can only keep one halibut of legal size per trip. So even if the trip was ten days long, you can only still keep one. Jeff was competing against eleven other anglers who I consider some of the best anglers in New England. Three of these anglers each had a halibut on the line. All were lost before we saw the fish, one breaking the leader line off at the jig. Jeff, however, hooked up with one and boated it. Shown in the picture on the right with Jeff (in white oil gear) and Bryan Lewer holding it, is the 94 pound halibut that he caught during that trip, his largest ever. This is the Bunny Clark's largest landed fish of the season as of this writing. Jeff had caught a couple of halibut in Alaska that weighed 60 pounds or so but had never caught a legal Atlantic halibut. A few years ago, Jeff caught a 28 pound halibut that was just sub-legal by an inch, with Captain Ian Keniston. Two years ago, he caught an 18.5 pound sub-legal halibut with me on an offshore marathon trip during haddock season. The funny thing was that, in the early part of this SOFT, he lost the halibut jig he had been fishing with to something on the bottom. This was his only "halibut jig". So he caught the big halibut on another jig of no special significance that he just pulled out of his tackle box of jigs. What was even more significant was that he caught the halibut on a rod that his daughter, Kelly, commissioned Bryan Lewer to build for her father for Christmas. The reel was also a gift. I confirmed to him at the time that he, indeed, had a halibut on his line and my suggestions of how to fight the fish - I'm full of suggestions! Of course, I didn't need to tell a seasoned angler like Jeff how to fight a fish. But I truly can't help myself. And I do feel that sometimes I want the angler to land a fish more than the angler himself (or herself). The fish took a few runs to bottom like most halibut do. And, in time, he brought the halibut to gaff. I think that every gaff aboard was utilized in bringing that fish aboard. If not utilized, at least brandished for the moment of truth. Of course, I couldn't have been happier. Needless to say, the moment wasn't lost on Jeff either. And everyone aboard was happy for him. As I age, and I lose one physical attribute after another, my one fervent hope is that I keep my memory so I can always remember wonderful event's like this. Special fish like Jeff's are the kind of fish we like to see on caught on the Bunny Clark.
