Fishing Captain Releases his 25,000th Billfish

For Immediate Release

Think catching one marlin or sailfish is a big deal? How about being with someone who has caught and released 25,000? Sport fishing Capt. Ron Hamlin completed the feat just a few months ago.

Hamlin, a veteran sportfishing captain, was recently named the top-tagging captain in the Pacific by the Billfish Foundation for an unprecedented 10th year in a row. He works exclusively out of the Pacific Fins Resort in Guatemala on the charter boat Captain Hook and has been instrumental in training other captains at the resort, who are nearly as prolific as Mr. Hamlin.

Ballyhoo Everything you didn't know Ballyhoo Everything you didn't know

Bonus: Rig a deadly skirted ‘hoo in 30 seconds flat! Ballyhoo are members of a group of fish known as halfbeaks, for their small, beak-like mouths. This popular baitfish is found outside the entire perimeter of Florida, but is most abundant in the near-coastal waters off the southern portion of the state, especially in the Florida Keys, where they are often seen schooling by the thousands.

West coast anglers take advantage of another shot

I had my skiff under the power of the trolling motor. In the back of my mind, I made a mental note to start wearing my Levi s as the light Supplex slacks I was wearing were not quite enough to stave off the cool fall temperatures.

Perfectly Poached...

This gentle method of cooking your favorite fish retains all of the gentle flavors from the fish on your plate. It is best to use fairly hearty fillets (one inch thick) from grouper, mutton snapper, cobia, or any other white meat flaky fish. Fresh dolphin or wahoo steaks will work equally as well. Perfectly poached fish is fairly simple to prepare and requires less than fifteen minutes of cooking.

Women on the Water

Just for Him Just for Him

Hey guys! Yes, YOU! Does your wife or girlfriend despise the fact that you're always gone fishing? Does she continually ask you why fiddling with your tackle and gear is such a priority?

Fishy Stories

A ProfessionalA Professional

Trimming your nose hairs with fly-tying scissors is a very bad idea. Not that any experienced angler would ever use a specialized fishing tool for such a mundane task. Only a complete idiot would stick a very sharp pointed instrument up his nostrils to chop follicles. In fact, that's what my wife asked me when I walked out of the bathroom with the red-stained Kleenex on my nose - "Are you a complete idiot?"

Saltwater fishing and its necessary related gear have taken a harsh toll on my body. I have received puncture wounds, strains and sprains, compression injuries, etc. My knees and elbows have become a network of scab junctures. However, for you to fully understand the magnitude of my fishing injuries, I need to start my inspection anatomically from the ground up.

'Hoos on First'Hoos on First

Wahoo are caught along around the entire coast of Florida, but are most abundant from Vero Beach to the Lower Florida Keys. Reason being; the southeast coast is bordered by endless miles of prime feeding grounds – sloping ledges and steep drop-offs within close proximity to the reef line and more importantly, within close proximity to an abundant food source. Fortunately, this makes targeting this savage killer both easy and economical.
