Here is another photo of the same sailfish on page ten. how many pounds do you think it might weigh? I guessed approx 100 lbs. I released it alive and well.I wouldn't want to kill it,way to beautiful.

This is a view just before we brought it to the boat. how long do you think it is 6 to 8 feet? I used 40 lb test but the deckhand added two hundred pound leader. next time I would like to catch it all on video then I could show some small clips like jumping marlin or sailfish.
Here is a Dorado I caught while in Baja. You can get a sense of the size by looking at my feet at the bottom of the picture. The fish is in a well at the back of the boat El THOMAS. The deckhand said 25 to 30 pounds.
