Believe it or not a sailfish was caught on Tuesday night at the Cape Cod canal. I know that this isn’t a saltwater fishing page but this is a story that happened pretty close to home for me so I had to post it. Pretty amazing that a sailfish found its way into the canal and was then actually caught by a dude who thought it was a shark. Sad part about this story is that they couldn’t revive the fish in the end. Most of the talk now is about the legality of the catch since it was kept and not released. Here’s the video-
The guy is lucky that some more experienced fisherman was there otherwise he would have definitely lost that fish. If he hadn’t been told to turn up his drag, that sailfish would have spooled him or snapped that mono. If any legal action is taken, he might end up hoping that’s what happened.
