He dropped a Sail as we were
He dropped a Sail as we were resetting the spread. Could of been 2 species landed if things worked out differently.
We also raised 2 more marlin and dropped another larger Black that day.

Popped up on random images so figured it was worth a comment. Miss the little 17r haines sometimes. Great little boat.
