Todd Reaves, owner of the Paul Mann 65-foot Soul Candy (formerly named Phat Mann), sent us this report of great fishing from the first weekend in July 2012:
"All three of my kids caught billfish on Saturday morning before 10:00am! We were fishing a junior tourney out of Orange Beach at the Mobile Big Game Fish Club. We had 7 (3 blues and 4 whites) solid bites and landed 3 – William (13) caught a blue, Smith (7 and it was his birthday) reeled in a white, and I 'helped' Isobel (5) reel in a blue." Nice job, William, Smith and Isobel! Todd also caught the action on video:
