Had the good fortune of getting Slingah out for some fishing today after he painted my house and did an awesome job by the way. The ocean was right sporty and I got him wet plenty of times but we managed to catch him his first Sailfish and some Dolphins. Back at it tomorrow for a calmer full day. We'll keep you posted and he says he wishes you all were here.

Thanks everyone, I am home....I really wish I lived there...and will someday...
I'll never forget that fish...my first billfish...what a scream, peeling off drag, a bunch of jumps and tail walks....great memories
Thanks George and Tracey for a great time...as always the laughs were as good as the fishing...
Anybody interested in sailfish should read Georges latest book on these magnificent fish....
