Took our boat out last weekend for one last hurrah before the new owners hauled her off. Slow stormy day but got a good bite late in the day resulting in a nice Texas Sailfish.

How common is it to catch sailfish out of Texas? This post makes me like there is so much I am missing out on!
 
Please dont tell me it was catch and release?!
 
Any day on the water is a good day..... Been too long since I was on blue water, but its worth the drive to the coast from Austin!
 
Well done! Beautiful fish. Sorry you are selling your rig.

Never caught a sail off Texas (or Louisiana for that matter) but have had a ball tangling with them off Costa Rica.

Absolutely catch and release with sailfish @mark-hunter
 
Beautiful fish. Congratulations.
 
Envy! A fine trophy! Pictures are worth a lot more than dead stuff when it comes to beautiful trophy fish IMO! It will be even bigger the next time!

Billfish are not as prevalent as in other places like Costa Rica, but are common enough to actually target them. The run to productive waters is fairly long depending on what port you leave from. We usually start fishing about 75mi out.

Absolutely. Thats the great thing about sportfishing that many countries are realizing. A trophy fish can be released to potentially be caught over and over again making that fish more valuable alive than dead.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew
