I held a saily without a shirt late last year - I wouldn't recomend it.
Felt like my whole chest had been stung by jellyfish.

Pusher
It was caught on a $10 jethead from B.C.F. Black and Purple put out for small Tuna after the Sailfish we got 3 striped Tuna so it was a good day.

well, thats $10 well spent.
well, thats $10 well spent. no need to go flash but maybe upgrade hooks and stuff. as far as your next question, looking at it maybe 30kg. hard to tell with a pic maybe as much as 40

How heavy
It's a bit hard to get its size in perspective. Sails don't carry a lot of weight. My guess woukd be in the 20kg - 24kg range.

Great fish metro thats for sure. I'd have said more like 24 than 20kg
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
