They went out for meat fish, and ended up tripling up on sailfish!  Three lines hit at once and only Shaughn and Holly were on the boat.  They were able to reel two of them to the boat and safely release them.  The third sail cut the line before they could get to it.  All in all, a good day of fishing!  It was Holly’s first sailfish and she went 2 for 3!
