Wicked Tuna:

Captain Ramsey Chason sent us this great shot of this 96 inch bluefin, hitting the scale at 500 pounds. Bob Pereira was fishing his Viking 66 Pescaria with his son Manny off of Nantucket, Massachusetts, when they hooked up with this beast. After a fight just shy of two hours, mate Tom Peele boated the fish, and it was time for photos.

Storm Troopers:

An eerie quiet calm enveloped the Viking Yacht Service Center in Riviera Beach, Florida, as the danger of Hurricane Matthew threatened the east coast. Fortunately the great crew at Viking South worked well into the night to secure two boat yards and ensure the safety of 40 yachts from Matt the Menace. No boat was overlooked and the Travelift worked overtime hauling boats and keeping them out of harm's way.

"Thanks to the amazing team that treats each boat as their own, not just during a crisis, but every day," said Mike Samuels, General Manager of the Viking Yacht Service Center. Our thoughts are with the families still struggling with the devastating destruction Matthew unleashed.
