April 2012 – Jake & Ben Hausch These two brothers have been fishing since they were six months old. They have caught lots of tuna in the 20-25 lb. range but this is their biggest tuna catch thus far at 30.1 lbs. They took turns battling this fish on a 20lb line. The boys rewarded themselves for this catch by eating sushi at the dock for the first time!

March 2012 – James Klein 11 yr. old James caught this sailfish on fly aboard the Gotcha with Capt. Mel Walker and mates Ross Early (left) and Cody Bailey (right). The fish was estimated at 40 lbs. and released after an hour long fight. If not the youngest, he is certainly one of the youngest anglers to complete such a feat. The fish was caught on a Hardy rod, Abel reel and a custom tube fly in a ballyhoo pattern.
