First trip of the year for us. Put lines in se of santee banks after a snotty ride out and had the daymaker bull in about 15 minutes. Didn’t get a weight on it but it was well over 60lbs. Taquache is 6’3" and the fork of the tail was just under his chin and the filets were 5 1/2’ long. Ended the day with 5 dolphin, and 4 missed fish. All fish bit the Lehi weighted heads.

Sounds like an internet 40#'er. Pictures please, sir.
Short grass and tight lines, make a man feel so fine!
Guy is 6’3" and 220 lbs, this fish was way over 40#

Thats one grown mahi, great job
That fish doesn’t seem to have the girth of a 60 lb’er, but it seems to make up for it in length… That fish may have been a world record in another year if it had a chance to grow out a little more.
I could easily believe 60+ lbs on that fish because of the length, but you should have put a scale on it! Regardless, nice fish!!!
NICE fish, Chip. Were you up this way?
I’m 6’3" and we got a 46 lb fish that was weighed for a tournament and it was about that size… that could be a 60 lb fish though… it is a nice one…

Hey Gary, yeah we went out of Georgetown. I wish I had video of that fish. It was full on wrestle mania when we brought him in the boat.

NICE FISH.50 + for sure.
For real, Nice bull man… they definitely will put a hurtin on ya either at boatside or in the boat. I’ve seen a couple that size range be a little more than the man with the gaff can handle and I lost one in june of 06 around that size because of reel problem…maybe next time for me
Nice fish ! Gota lov those Lehi skirts. Its what our sailfish hit on the loose wire.
If your not fishin your not livin!
