Great pics. Missing on the big Blue hurts. I caught a big blue in Costa Rica about 8 years ago. They estimated it at well over 500#. It was the only fish we caught that day and the captain had asked us if we wanted to go in towards shore so we could at least catch some fish. We said no we are here for big or go home. About an hour later we were hooked up. The captain was basically calling me a wimp because I couldn't get control of the fish. Then it came out of the water and the captain and his crew lost their minds.
He went from what's your problem to game face mode in the blink of an eye. 2 plus hours later we were cutting the leader at the boat. Still one of my best fishing memories ever. Lost all my pictures from that year in my phone. Hurts to this day.
