Captained for many years by Peter B Wright, chasing tuna every year in Cat Cay or fishing Cape Hatteras during the Tag A Giant years, she holds quite a few impressive records.

Stewart Campbell with his “dream team” Peter B Wright, Gary Stuve, Charles Perry, Charlie Hayden and John Rafter captured and released 73 Giant Bluefin tuna in one day!
