We didn't take any measurements. 10 were boated for photos, 30 released while in water.

No .. she didn't catch'em all, my son-in-law and I caught our share.

But she's the first one to ever get her picture on the wall there.

Woah sail fish on flies! That’s madness! I would have loved to have seen that, from the fish striking the fly to landing that puppy. Awesome effort!

Do you tease them to the back of the boat and then do a sort of switch-bait maneuver?

micah adams did a few good articles in modern fishing a while ago about marlin on fly etc.

Tease & switch-bait

I'm getting too old for the fly rod (73), I use spinning tackle now.

4 days of fishing .. day 1 raised about 35 in the spread .. caught 5. Day 2 .. 48 in spread .. caught 14-15. Day 3 .. 54 in spread .. caught about 18. Last day 38 ... caught about 15. Really wasen't keeping count but that's close. The beer was free and I took advantage of it after I caught my first fish.
