Title: Hunter's 1st Sailfish!!!
Post by: fowlmouth on January 07, 2010, 10:43:52 PM
After 3 yrs of trying and a few lost fish my son Hunter finally got one boatside! The battle lasted 45 minutes on 17 lb test, he didn't get(or want) a breather until after we touched leader and made the catch official. Out of the water for a quick photo-op, he said goodbye and we successfully revived and released. Thats my dad in the photo with him, wish I had video of the two of them afterwards they were like a couple kids all hopped up on sugar! Not sure which one had the bigger smile, was a great day of making memories.
