George Frederick is a good friend who had a great couple of days last year with us. This year he couldn't make it, but he sent a few of his friends to try their luck. After getting the bait we ran south to find the current. As we approached Triump Reef I saw a couple frigate birds that were on fish. As James and I looked into the water to see what was chasing up the flying fish I heard one of my favorite sounds. It was James's little voice full of excitement "Big Dolphin Dad!!!" he cried out! At first I saw one, than another and another, all big fish. It was a big bull and four cows. Wes hooked the first couple as James raced down the ladder and began hooking fish. In a matter of seconds, big dolphin erupted out of the water in all directions from the L&H. After some good angling and coaching from the boys we put all the fish on ice. The bull would later weigh in at forty-four pounds and the others from twenty to thirty! After everything settled down I decided to run back to the north where the sails were biting good. With the kites up we caught two nice tuna and started releasing a few sailfish. At the end of the day we got covered up with sails two different times and ended up coming back to the marina with ten sailfish release flags flying! It was a great day and I am sure we made our friend George proud.
