    Question You make the call...

    Well the boss showed up at 1PM... By 2 we were loaded with bait then out came the six pound gear to start our quest... I guess it was right about three oclock when I saw a purple shape with a bill race in and hammer the hoo... I have been at this game a long time and frankly I'm stumped.

    This fish was not big but ate different than most sails. Race in and hammer usually isn't how they act... Then a blistering 300 yard run one way only to douuble back another three the other way. I was where it should be a sail... but something just seemed different. Not a big fish... Maybe fifty pounds.

    Now I know on six you don't have much handle as such but damn this fish was wired... We covered 4 plus miles in the first hour just keeping up. It worked up sea, down sea, turning on a dime, charging, jumping but never threw up a dorsal. Almost all sails will get a chocolate color after a while of fighting... This was bright blue on back and silver sides showing stripes at times. Kind of shortish bill. Even on the leader I still couldn't positive ID...

    We had leader four times over the two hour fight... No clue whether a sail or rat blue though... Should have been a sail. I never caught a blue in that close where we are but some things didn't add up. I have had stubborn sails but never a hot fish for two hours... Who knows??? Boss was tickled...

    The bosses buddy has a pretty clean shot on his camera but no usb to down load it and get a bettter zoomed in look... I'll try to find a cable otherwise it will have to wait til monday to post...

    Here we go

    Has nobody on here besides myself ever been to the Keys before?

    Deepy, you may want to take a closer look at your photos. Sounds like you released a grander on 6 lb. I'll alert Bark and Stuart Campbell to point the Chunda to the powder to chase their next record. There's no need for them to waste all that money over in Madeira.

    I was there last winter and it was a disaster. 5 straight days of cold showers.
