Smithy's BIG Sailfish !!!!! Metro
Smithy took me and my 11yr son out on Monday, was a slow day out wide, decided to head back in with trolling two lures out the back then WHAM, a BIG Sailfish was on.
We had to turn the boat round and chase it or Terry was going to get spooled!!!! After a couple of acrobatic jumps clean ou the water and alot of boat maneuvering we got it boat side, unhooked and pulled aboard for a quick photo, must have easily been nearly 8ft long, Terry's boat is 2.5m wide and it wouldn't fit in sideways !!!
Spent 5 mins helping it recover, then released to fight another day.
Been buzzing ever since, even though I didn't actually catch it, I feel part of it all with the boat work and getting it on deck and released.
Fish of a lifetime !!!
A big thank you Terry for taking us both out and hope to do it again soon, think we'll struggle to match that though, Spaniards next.
Just waiting for the pics, Come on TERRY !!!!
Lifes a game but fishing is serious !!!

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
