We both feel safe and

This Double Sailfish release set the tone for a day full of bent rods.
Heidi rounded out the day’s trophy releases with a tasty Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table. Excellent work by Captain Fico and the super panga Explorer.

“I was most pleased to take the traditional celebratory dunk in celebration of my FIRST BLUE MARLIN!!!” Heidi wrote on Facebook. “Captain Rick Ryals did the honors! AND I caught and released ANOTHER BIG SAILFISH today too, #6!!! Needless to say I am sore from head to toe and I’m sporting some pretty impressive fisherman’s bruises. I’ll take them any day!!”
