Congrats on the jackpot. Fishing superstitions are really interesting. I don’t have any of my own, but I think the topic would make a great book or series of articles. I looked into it once and there are one or two books out there related to this topic. Tight lines!
If I’m so lucky and catch a tuna, superstition/custom has it that I’m supposed to eat the heart. Not sure where that comes from. Would love to know the origin. Thanks for stopping by Charley.
Hey Salty! My superstition consists of resisting superstition. I was personally acccosted on my maiden cattle boat trip by an angry crew member who insisted that I was “cursing” the boat to a fishless trip. Based on my lack of spending on cattle boat trips, I would estimate that the result was on less fisherman on his boat. I’m all for a light-hearted rubbing, but I’ve been extremely put off by the over zealous approach displayed by those who otherwise need my dollars. I prefer to privete boat, with the foods, gear, and company that treats me right. When are we gonna fish?

Negatory…raw, still beating…very primal. Look up “eat tuna heart” on YouTube. You’ll see what I mean.
