David and Sue McConnell of Montreal Canada took their son Mike out with us for an afternoon of family fishing fun. They wanted something big for Mike so our plan was to drop live baits around shipwrecks to see if we could deliver a big bottomfish. As I steered the L&H toward our first wreck, I spotted a sailfish on the surface. We lined up on the fish and Wes got a bait to the sail. The hungry sailfish devoured the bait, raced for the horizon, and the L&H backed down in hot pursuit. Only a few minutes into the trip and Mike had something bigger than he had ever hoped for. After a tough battle Mike had the trophy alongside the boat. Wes took measurements, removed the hook and we released the sailfish to fight another day. After that the McConnels enjoyed nonstop action with Amberjacks up to 72 pounds until we had our limit and decided to head in early. It was an awsome afternoon with smiling faces and everyone going home happy!
