In this photo are the Mate's on the GOTCHA & the Angler is my good buddy James Kline. Two days ago Capt. Mel on the GOTCHA out of Holiday Isles Marina in Islamorada took James out for a day of Sailfishing, The Sailfish in the photo was Caught, Photographed & Released.

I believe it is one of the best catches i have ever heard of. The fish was fought for over 45min, & anybody who has tried to catch an Atlantic Sailfish on Fly can tell you it is one of the tough ones to mark off your list,  I got a call from Tim a few hours after the release & when he told me of the catch i said put your kid on the phone i want to congratulate him. We had a short talk & he told me all about his catch.
I dont have any children, but if i did have a son i would want one just like this young man, James is 11 years old & the son of my best friend Capt. Tim Kline, one of the best guides in the keys.

This week Capt.Tim & Capt. Mel will be on board the GOTCHA fishing in the Islamorada SAILFLY Tournament, They are past Grand Champions of the event.  James will be in School, but i hope he plays hookie & watches his dad catch one.   Good Luck Guys....
