You are never too old to catch your first Sailfish!

This is what we were fishing for but we ended up with catching a Sailfish too!

Sometimes when fishing for Grouper dropping your bait towards the bottom the Sailfish thinks it is an injured bait. They think it's a free meal.



I took my boss out for the day on his 28ft open fisherman. He recently bought a nice boat and needed some specialized guide service so I was called into action!!

I took him north of the Boca inlet to one of my Grouper and Snapper honey holes. We did catch several Red Grouper but he really got excited when he hooked that Sailfish. The fish immediately went straight out from the boat. The way the fish was fighting in the water I knew it was either a Wahoo, Shark or Sailfish. Once I saw the tailfin come out of the water I knew he had a Sailfish.


After the fish tired some he swam by the boat and made a second run then jumped about three times. That was the exciting part just watching that fish jump out of the water. Then we unhooked the fish and made some pictures then released the eight foot Sailfish. This was a great day for fishing!
