Looks like I need to start trolling ballys out of the harbor in the mornings.
Very cool catch.

Being such a rare catch and a great story (even a blind squirrel sometimes gets a nut), I'd throw in some $$ to help pay his fine!!
Very cool....no matter what.

Video is up and it's pretty cool.
I think I'm jaded after realizing that at least half of the facebook fish photos I see are staged. Really lessens the accomplishments of the real catch. Good for these guys and kudos for taking the time to document it! Once in a lifetime for sure (well, unless you live in Australia)

Maybe not, at the rate everything has been changing.
Last September/ October I saw a mola way up river in the Merrimack on three separate nights. |

So Nessie was in the itch all along............
That was a real treat on my first morning home from Quebec. Good for whoever the mystery man is, and he shoud remain a mystery if he is smart I guess.
You really need a permit for them?

650 yards of braid?? How wide is the ditch?
That's a lot of $$ and what do you do after you've cut out a few knots and retied several hundred times, rip and replace the remaining 575 yards?
Sweet catch! Fighting that fish in the ditch around the poles would definitely have given me the shaky wobbly knee feeling for sure.

Has anyone actually seen the fish? I go back and forth between white marlin and sail. I don't think he'll get fined. It looks like you only need a federal HMS permit to fish for tuna in state waters:
To fish recreationally in federal waters for any Atlantic HMS, and within the waters of most Atlantic coastal states for Atlantic tunas, vessel owners must have a valid federal fishing permit for their vessel.
Federal length regs for sails are 63" fork length (excluding the bill) and 66" for white marlin. Without an actual measurement of the fish, I would think it would be impossible to determine if it was short.
Massachusetts adopts the Federal regulations for state waters.

Just reading that it could be a pending world record for sailfish from shore.

Federal HMS permit is needed for any HMS, not just tunas. Billfish also have to be reported within 24 hours of landing. Not sure if it applies to fishing for or just retention.

IGFA doesn't keep separate records for boat and shore. It'll be an "unofficial" record, like Tony Stetzko's with Bertha. |

I had a mola 30 yards in front of me off the rocks in Rockport this afternoon. Thought it was shark at first. Have only ever seen them at sea but I know they are common in the canal. Took some video as I figured out what it was... |

Another picture, conclusively showing that it's a sailfish:

As far as any kind of record, no-go. Watch the video. At one point, a bystander touches the rod.
