3 of the top 10 in calcasieu lake, aint no place like it! But the record sailfish kinda got me. Thought they got much bigger than 96lbs. Hell, the state record red was 61 lbs. Anyways fellas, thanks for the info.

sailfish have 2 varieties. Atlantic sails which migrate in the gulf and are smaller in size and Pacific Sails which tend to be the larger of the 2.
