I hope that fish did not die just for a photo shoot? Good Catch!

syxx · 05-11-2008, 12:40 PM

no they cut it up and gave the meat away!

JupiterSailfish · 05-11-2008, 05:34 PM

Went to that link of "bud and Mary's" Holy CARP!!!!!!! That beast looks like he's at least 10 feet in the air!!!! Absolutely SICK!!!!
Insane job to the captain and crew!!

Broadbill-Pro · 05-12-2008, 10:57 AM

Now we know why the swords are back, that monster is gone!

NightCrawler · 05-12-2008, 02:24 PM

the Arial shot is insane!!!. We boated one 200+ a couple of years ago and that was no easy task and left some marks on my boat!! I can't imagine 850lber

Would love to hear the story on this one.

Captain Juan · 05-12-2008, 02:51 PM

Wow,

I just went back to the site and saw the aerial photos.

Bro, when that thing reenters the water it's like they dropped a missle into the sea.

There was a story out of Marathon about four years ago where a guy was swording in an open fisherman and a big Mako free-jumped, unhooked into the boat and detroyed the cockpit nearly killing the dude. It is unreel how these things jump. Great whites and spinners do it too.

Thanks for sharing the link!

I will be the first to admit , I think I would just poop myself cut the line and run. I carry a 45 acp with me and I do not think it would do anything to it. I saw jaws as a young mate and that movie scared me out of the water for some time
