some numbers!
According to my good friend Luis (Guicho) Ramirez a good mate from Guatemala who appears in the photo, the numbers aboard of the FREESPOOL till aug 18th they fished 45 days, 102 blues in the spread, 64 bites and 39 release all in switch & bait,
In the time I was there we had 58 in the spread got 23 this was between the two boats freespool with Jason Brice and Guicho and I was on Regel I do not have figures for the days that I was not on freespool. Freespool was the 39 Guthrie and Regel a Rodmans. Sadly I am back in Kenya Jason has a few days left as of yesterday, he has been averaging a fish a day for the past week. A incredible fishery average size was about 350 best day we raised 13 had 4 bite released 4 all bait and switch
I saw Jason release a double header of 350lb fish in 4 and half minutes. Is that up there with one of the quickest doubles on 30 ?!!!!
I will put a few more photos up soon. Not the greatest on a computer so it all takes time
So everyone's seen a jumping blue marlin photo before, but I really like the ones of the fish on the pitchbait--those get the heart racing for me. To see the bill and a little pointy fin right behind your bait knowing you're about to get crushed...it just doesn't get much better than that right there my friends...
