huge mahi

Rodney Edwards and Tom Miller landed this 73 lb. dolphin fishing aboard the TomCat!

Spring fishing is heating up on the Space Coast. For our offshore anglers, so much is based on the weather, and let’s be honest, Mother Nature has been a bit stingy with her weather windows to get offshore this year. However, when the most recent opportunity presented itself, these guys took full advantage and came home with a fish of a lifetime. Rodney Edwards and Tom Miller fishing aboard the TomCat landed this 73 lb. dolphin! What?! I would have loved to see their faces the first time that monster came out of the water!

Recreational anglers — keep in mind there is an awesome FREE tournament going on called “Beat the Fleet” at Sunrise Marina in Port Canaveral. Make sure you DO NOT leave money on the table for your awesome catch! Here are some notable catches to hit the scales lately:
