Fish On!
21 January 2019
What a catch! We landed this beautiful Sailfish about 50 miles out from San Blas!
We were all so surprised when this beauty got near the boat as we had not seen it jump out of the water or show any evidence that it was such a large fish.
The reel started screaming and I took a few minutes to slow the boat down before taking the rod to start the fight. V-man held his own with the rod also while I slowed down the boat even further.
It was a the first time we got a chance to use the flying gaff and thankfully we had l the right equipment to safely and humanely capture this beautiful creature.
It weighed about 90lbs and tasted absolutely delicious!
We have 5 large ziplock bags now full of meat and are gladly sharing excess with other cruisers as gifts and at potlucks.
