Tinny?
That on the tinny Adam?
I've been waiting to see a picture of something substantial caught from it.
A good tip for in the water shots is to to have the boat motoring forward slowly so that the fish is parallel to the boat, really shows up the whole of its sail that way.

Sail
Got a few photos like that John, just didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. Having a coupla woodducks on board didn't help either, but I was stoked to get them a coupla fish. The boat got its christening today!
First 15 minutes and had the spaniard. Within the hour had the sailfish which hit the spread about 8 times and free swum under the boat all lit up. I didn't think he was coming back and hit the trottle just incase, smacked the lure again and gunned it and got a solid hookup on the worst rod/reel combo I had. (on braid too!) Went for a bottom bounce and got a few variagated emperor and other ooglies. Had a monster mack free swim around the boat and another one hookup to a free floating bait which busted off pretty quick with light leader. On the way back to the ramp had a second saily smash the spread, come back a second time and hookup for about 45-60 seconds and drop it. Also got a few small tuna which we released. Was a magic day on the water up here, less than 5-7 knots all day, bout bloody time too!!!
Boat is great for stability, if we'd hooked up to a big black, she'd be fine, thats what I was aiming for. Not complaining thou!

hahahah
Spot on John, one tank of juice....
If we had caught the second sail I might have retired from fishing. 
25ltr x $1.58 = around $40. We covered some serious ground yesterday, but after the first two fish in the first hour, we really didn't give a sh*t if we got anything else all day.
