This Double Sailfish release set the tone for a day full of bent rods.

The group also bested this high-flying Sailfish. Another great release.






“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!!”



Jacksonville anglers Rob Coxey and David Borries performed brilliantly on their first day of fishing on August 17.










Multiple Sailfish releases were augmented with a nice selection of Dorados and Yellowfin Tuna.




Look out for this dynamic duo to continue to score this week.
