My 4 year old son Derek Mullahy presented me with the greatest father’s day present a fisherman could receive the past spring when he hooked, fought, and got some help landing this 42 pound striper. We were fishing aboard my 34 foot Fountain “Retriever” off of Martha’s Vineyard when he used a circle hook and live bait to catch this fish that weighed as much as he did. Here are pictures of Derek and his Uncle Dave Mullahy displaying his fish. A second picture shows Derek getting a little support from me, his dad, as the fish made a long run down the beach.

Our Fountain is primarily our tournament fishing vessel but on down weekends the entire family enjoys the water on the Retriever.
