My first Sailfish
Submitted by catch.fish on Tue, 2012-07-24 15:12
Was lucky enough to have the boss shout an Exmouth trip fishing with Josh from On Strike charters.
We had plenty of action with 6 sailfish landed and released along with two triple hookups managing to get all 3 fish on board on one of them. Also got onto a big marlin that straightened the hook and got away.
I gotta say having 3 guys all hooked onto big sailfish at the same time with them launching all over the place was some of the most intense fishing I've ever done. All in all it was a pretty surreal experience, was stoked to land my first sailfish and was definitely some fishing I don't think I'll ever forget!
