Randall Bryett
Randall Bryett grew up on the Sunshine Coast of Australia with some the worlds best fishing around every corner. He has worked in many aspects of the fishing industry including chasing the Giant Black Marlin at the prestigious Lizard Island. He is a avid fly fisherman who likes to find his own path. When not traveling he resides in Northern California with his wife Kate and their adopted cats.
Good mate Nassim Joaquin has reportedly caught 12 Atlantic sailfish on fly in one day (Feb 1st 2010) fishing with Captain Anthony Mendillo at Isla Mujeres. This breaks a record held by Joe Zimmerman whom caught 10 in a day some years ago.
"Joe Zimmer of Berlin, Maryland, broke the one-day record for Atlantic sailfish on the fly earlier this year. Fishing out of Isla Mujeres, Mexico, aboard the Prime Time, Zimmer was led by Captain Butch Cox to ten Atlantic sailfish on 20-pound tippet and abided by IGFA fly-fishing rules for billfish."
Nassim has been trying to get this record and his best day before his record breaking day was seven fish. There have been reports at these links Saltwatersportsman & Inthebite.com in regard to this news and I will post more here once Nassim gives us the full story. Congratulations Nassim !
