The shot on the right is a digital image of Lewis Hazelwood (MA) holding his 48 pound Maine state trophy white hake. I took the picture with my iPhone 16 on August 2, 2026 during the Dave Burton Special Ultra Marathon fishing trip a, nearly, twenty-four hour offshore trip to find new areas to fish. Lew is no stranger to big hake. Nor is he a stranger to our special invitational, long, offshore trips, having attended many in the past. This hake is the largest hake of any species that has been caught on the Bunny Clark this season so far. And, I suspect, it will be the largest white hake of the season. It measured 52" caliper fork length, making it the longest hake that we have seen on the deck of the Bunny Clark at any time this millennium. It's also tied with the seventh largest hake, by weight, with two other 48 pound hake, caught in over thirty years on the Bunny Clark. Incidentally, Lew caught a 47 pound Maine state trophy white hake with me during the 2018 Bunny Clark fishing season! That fish, too, makes it into the top twelve white hake for weight caught on the Bunny Clark in the last thirty years. But his most notable white hake catch took place on July 9, 2019 on another Ultra Marathon trip, an annual invitational we ran (and do run) when the weather is good enough to go that far off shore. That day his hake catch was a double that included a 40 pound Maine state trophy white hake and a 30.5 pound Maine state trophy white hake, both fish caught on the same line at the same time! What's most incredible was that he held both fish up for a picture after boating them! It's actually, officially, the second largest double that has ever been caught on the Bunny Clark. The potentially biggest double I ever saw was caught by Richard Atherton (NH) who had two cod caught as a double, both over 50 pounds. Because I was trying to release one alive, I had one gaffed and the other beside the boat with me trying to get my hand in the gill plate to lift it aboard. As cod twist and roll a lot, it twisted out of my hand, off the hook and shot back to bottom. The one I gaffed weighed 54 pounds. The other was equally as big, at least. Lew has always been a very successful fisherman. Plus, he is a pleasure to have aboard the boat as he appreciates everything, even when I give him a bad day. There is a reason that he is always included on the big offshore trips I run. In 2017 he caught an 86 pound halibut with me. At the time, this was the largest halibut that had been landed on the Bunny Clark. Since then, we have caught twelve others that were larger. But it seems that this has been the trend; the halibut have been getting larger as the seasons progress. Lew is, of course, a good example of the wonderful anglers I am lucky enough to see on the Bunny Clark from time to time. It's the prime reason that taking anglers deep sea fishing has never seemed like a job to me. How long I continue is a question I will probably make a decision on at the end of this season. Special fish like Lew's are the kind of fish we like to see on caught on the Bunny Clark.
