Our great friend John Egan had a monster day on January 10. The flagship Wanderer reports a great Sailfish release.

Throughout the day they scored a baker’s dozen of BIG Dorados, and since they are already stocked up on filets they chose to release them.
The legendary Manny Rivera continued his excellent catches on January 10. Check out this awesome Sailfish released by Captain Fito:
