With Fluke season fast approaching its end, I was happy to have spent time with Dave on board the Richard & Arnold. Even better my son and his son spent two days with the old man. Three generations fishing and living aboard in Menemsha Harbor, on Martha's Vineyard. The Captain was proud! With the catch coming quickly on the day the three generations went fishing together.  Must have been good juju - because they caught their 300 pound limit in one tow. I am including here a video of the catch of the best tow of the season. This is what a good catch looks like for the 85 year old Richard & Arnold, just like the old days, but instead of making another tow like the captain would have 20 years ago,  they headed in. Second generation took third generation to the beach after the fish were unloaded and they played in the surf like a couple of fishes.
