The One That Didn't Get Away . . .
My friend Linda Butler convinced me to join her at the 12th Annual Islamorada Ladies Sailfish Tournament (strictly catch and release) last January. This was my first experience with the big billfish!! What a thrill!! Capt. Steve Leopold guided us aboard the Great White. This was actually my third catch, but the first that I was able to bring in for release. Photo credits go to my husband, Lee.
