I thought the chain was a bit grabby at times. but other than that. it’s one angry wood cruncher of a saw.
Nice work.

I love Bonito! It is a small member of the Tuna family (general 10-12 lbs) with very light color flesh.

When my Dad used to have his 25' boat, we would go out of Shark River Inlet (NJ) and for about 2 weeks in Sept you could catch them. Only on days when the water was crystal clear, they would be about 30 feet down, just under the Albacore (another Tuna that was not so good to eat).

They have extremely good eyesight, we would fish with, and chum with Spearing, and you had to tie a small black hook with no leader and hook through the eyes. If it was not done right, you could watch them going through the chum, and maneuvering around your hook!

They were great fighters, challenging to catch , and taste great. The first time I caught one it was a bright sunny day, and it looked like a metal - mechanical fish!

There were also tons of Bluefish in the area, and if one grabbed your hook, w/o the leader, it would usually just cut you off.

I am not a big fish eater, but fresh Tuna, Swordfish or Artic Char are at the top of my list, then Salmon and Trout. Red Snapper and Mai Mai can also be very good. That's my 2 cents!

Albacore is excellent eating Mike.

Around the fall, a horrible oily nasty tasting mackerel specie comes into our bay. They are called “False Albacore” or “false alby’s“ because they look similar but taste awful. I bet that’s what you were catching.

Bonito taste great. We would catch them with spearing on a multi-hook jig. They get spooked easily, you’d have to pull in front of them against the tide, kill the motor, and drift into the schools. The engine would spook them easily.

Yup. Frozen and thawed. Consistency changes for sure.

My wife loves those "rubber bands" too!

Yes Al, they were False Albacore, great fighters, but not good eating. It has been many years since then, but you are correct (we just called them Albacore).

Who discovered "Flash Frozen" and why do they do it???

Everyone complained that when you froze fish, then thawed them to eat, they got mushy. Clarence Birdseye visited the Antarctic and discovered this did not happen to their fish. Research proved that because as soon as their fish came out of the water they were subject to extreme cold, they stored much better and were not as mushy when thawed.

He developed the Flash Frozen process for his seafood (and veggies, etc), and the rest is history. They are not nearly as mushy as slow frozen (like we do at home).

And now you know!!!

That's one angry saw! I am very impressed! Someday I'd like to do a build like that!
