Yes i did indeed have fun and there are plenty of pictures which i should be getting e-mailed to me soon. Slip, you are right those dolphin are known for there jumps and bright green and yellow color but unfortunatly the fight was not that much of a fight. we were trolling with 30 ft of 400 lb mono leader on 130 penn international reels. Once the fish hit the lure i picked up the rod and jumped in the chair because we were in the tournament and assumed it was a marlin because it was such a big lure. I knew almost right away that it wasn't marlin and with almost 30 lbs of drag on that reel the fish tired quickly and it was basically winding him. We couldn't slow the boat down with all the other lines out and in case there was something bigger around chasing him. As for a record I believe it is in the 75 to 85 lb range, so it is just a personal best and nothing more. Ideally you would want an 80 lb leader on a much smaller reel then the jumping and great fight will begin.
