August 5th Fish Report

Yesterday Alex walked away the Captain of the Day. Today the award goes to Javier on Rum Runnin. El Nuevo and Reel Rum also headed out today but could not get into the same groove as Rum Runnin.

Terry Peckham and his children (3) headed out with Javier and Ramon today. They started their day off hooking into, and releasing a Stripe Marlin. Terry told me when he got back "that fish put on a great show for us, jumping out of the water over 15 time, it must have been a young one"!! Later during the trip Ramon hooked into another Stripe Marlin for a catch and release. The catch of the day happend as the last figh was hooked. "We knew it was something big when we didn't see it come up for a while", Terry said. Javier later told me in my office "the fish never really jumped but we knew it was hooked good". Finally, after an hour and a half of fighting the fish the Blue Marlin was spotted near the boat. A few minutes later Ramon had a hold of it. The fish measured 114" and weighed 275 pounds! Mr. Peckham's got some pretty impressive kids, all excellent anglers! Great job guys!

Tight Lines,
