Sailfish 25 miles out of Cameron
 

My cousin and his crew landed about a 50lb sail 25 miles off Cameron. They were pitching jigs to triple tail in a rip in some dirty green water. Caught it on a calcutta with 12lb test line. I wouldn't have believed him had I not seen the video.

got a link to the video? That sound like it would be amazing to see

Sail Cat or Sail Fish??? LOL

That is pretty shallow for a billfish.

I remember people catching them on the juno beach fishing pier when i was in FL

when I was about 4, me and my dad saw one come out the water by the jetties in fourchon

They are suppose to edit it and put some music to it. I will ask if they are going to post it up on youtube. I am sure they will. It's a pretty long video. Took a while to land it on 12lb test.

Tell Spoonbill to post the pictures!!!! Could be a could sales picture for berkley line, and berkley gulp!

It was actually cajun line. He sposed to post da pics up.

Even better..."cajun line is so strong, i landed this sailfish on it!"

This line is so strong..........even a Cajun can land fish??

tim, lets load up the boat and head out bro !!

Sorry jordie, can't.......gotta fix some boat issues........besides, looks like I'm occupied for the next few days

Unoccupied. Your occupants are turning into liquid turds soon.

you can chum, ill drive !!! :*****:

Choupique on here caught one last summer in his kayak in Destin within swimming distance of the beach. You do not need deep water at all

Destin has a lot more drop off. The shelf over here goes out 100 miles.
At Destin it is a lot closer and a lot clearer water.
I remember seeing that picture.

There yall go

Is that a day vision camera? The pics are clear..... maybe its my phone ?

Nah, not your phone

boat looks familiar, is that cody vidrine?

Here bruce

Awesome!

The water 25 miles off of Cameron is not 50 ft.
They said they hit a 125 ft. deep hole. I call BS on that one too.

well..don't shoot the messenger!

You would be correct.

He said that the depth finder hit 125 for a brief time. Said he is really not sure if there was really a hole or if they didn't catch some grass from the rip on the transducer that gave them a fonky reading. Settle down pudnah, they really caught a sailfish 25 miles out of the cameron jetties.

I ain't upset. I just know the water 25 miles out ain't 50 ft. deep.

Ok, how about this. HIS depth finder was reading 50 feet while 25 miles offshore. Does that make you feel better? Does it matter how deep it was?

Ray, don't you see the mile marker in the background?

fo real ray y u gotta be like a la sportsman fag....the man caught the fish i doubt he was lying about the water depth....i know somewheres i can go 50 miles out of hopedale and the waters only 25 feet deep

You know your area.
I know my area.
I know there ain't no 50 ft. water 25 miles out of Cameron.
I don't care if anyone likes it or not.
I fished out of Cameron before you were born.

Never doubted the fish. I doubted the depth.

LOL fine with me. I wasn't there. I didn't look at the depth finder. Truth is we/him don't usually even slow down that close in. He blew a hydrallic hose on the stearing and had to turn back. We usually start fishing at 60 miles unless for some reason the water turns blue before then. Have hit blue water before at just 50 miles. I am sure you will be glad to tell us how deep it is at 50 miles. Again, I am not sure why you are so excited about how deep or shallow it is.

I am not excited. Sounds suspicious.
Ever heard of a fish tale? This sounds like one.
Not everything adds up. I keep waiting for the punch line.
I have caught a big Wahoo at WC-269, which is unusual, that is why I don't doubt the fish.
But the story sound like a fish tale.
I don't care where he caught it, he is lucky to catch one in shallow water.

And I was talking to that Hopedale turd in my last post.

can't we all just get along ???

No problem brother. I didn't believe him either until I saw the video and the pics. Oh, and the rest of the catch. One snapper. 10 tripple tail and a sailfish. I would imagine if he made it to where we usually fish he'd of gotten his snapper, some ling, some king and some mahi. But not triple tail.

Them Tripple Tail are just as good as Snapper. In my opinion.
I'd be glad to come home with 10 of them.

Been a lurker on this site for awhile, this is my first post! Ray, what is wrong with the story? Sailfish are caught out of kayaks and aluminum boats in the keys in 50 feet of water, you can watch them from the bank

Feesheeman is that John VanNorman who caught it?
Herd they caught one close in--
If the water is clear enough, which it has been close in, a juvenile sail is not surprising.

That is a roger, John caught it with Cody's rod on Cody's boat that I stayed up until 10:30 Friday evening putting a new bilge pump in even though I wasn't goin fishing the next day. I had a big 3D shoot to go to.

Yes I agree, but when I go fishing offshore I am not interested in little fish. I'd rather chase big king, ling, AJ, and stuff like dat.

But the shelf is within sight distance in the keys. These fish are uncommon 25 miles off of Cameron. I never doubted the fish.
I doubted the depth. Sounded like a fish story cause of the story.

Nice
 

Yea I herd he had got one, I did not know they broke down. Did not look like his big 24 skeeter from that pic. Sounds like they had a very good trip. Heading out Sat. Trolling ballyhoo, haha, never know. Might get a bill up.

Yeah dey was in Cody's Grady. John busted da axel on his skeeter the other day.

i don't doubt it was 25 miles, water looks the same as it did where we were at 25 last weekend. 50 foot out of cameron is how far? 30-35 miles? I've seen a sailfish around north oil city/tennecos before.

that used to be our old boat from "back in the day"

I have been working on it for 2 years and frankly I am sick of it. LOL. I pretty much rewired the whole thing last year.

yeah it's ready for retirement, thing had seen some punishment over the years. we got in some 12 foot seas with it one time.

Well we done a lot of fiberglass work on her last year and the hull is sound. Engines are in awesome shape surprisingly. It just needed some TLC. 12 foot seas?? Count me out! Although when I go out, I have a ditch bag with a radio, GPS and lots of water.:D

Ouch...I'll pass on that!

They mad!

!!!!!!!
