Catching The Bug

My friend Braiden may have caught the fishing bug in a big way this weekend. He is on vacation with his parents in Mexico and landed this 100 pound marlin on an evening sunset sailing cruise out of Akumal. He just started fishing off the boat and about half an hour or so into the trip Saturday evening he hooks into something big. Forty five minutes of fighting the beast resulted in a picture perfect leaping battle and finally this beautiful fish. Congratulations Braiden, that is one heck of a vacation memory to always treasure.
