Here is a picture of me when I caught
a seven foot sailfish off a drift boat while on vacation to North Miami
Beach. The fishing trip cost was only $2.50! And I was only eleven years
old!
I still have the mounted fish in our
guest bedroom. At eleven years old, I signed a certificate saying that
I would from hereafter only catch and release sailfish. But alas, the
only fresh food we ever got on Wake Island, Pacific was the fish and
lobster we caught daily. Everything else came in ready to eat meals
or frozen. We ate fresh tuna, wahoo, marlin, dolphin (the fish), and
bonita. Our fish was always cleaned and eaten the same day.
