Hi Clay,
You may or may not have seen this image floating around the internet, but I recently paddled off my local beach in South Florida to try my luck fishing on my new Bote Board. As the Editor of Florida Sport Fishing Magazine, I’ve been fortunate to travel the world and have likely caught hundreds of sailfish in my lifetime. My best day in Guatemala we released 35 in only a few hours. This picture was taken on my third trip offshore on my Bote – from my beach in Delray, FL I can reach 100-foot depths within 1-mile from shore. This is unique to South Florida and one of the only reasons this catch was at all possible. I don’t think this is that crazy, just another way to have fun on my SUP. I was recently shown a thread that has a whole bunch of misinformation about this picture. (http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/
I LOVE this. I have a fishing family, but I have never been so into it myself. But this is really inspiring. I love to see the impossible come true! Thanks so much for sharing. I hope you feature all kinds of stuff like this.
Congrats on a great day of C-A-R fishing, quite an accomplishment, especially on a SUP. The h… with the ignorant people. Nicely done. I have paddled (prone not sup) in France, Australia, Hawaii, West Coast and this is the first time to see this. Gene Boyer, So. Cal.
Great picture and AWESOME catch! The possibilities are unlimited on a Stand Up Paddle board and since I personally have a BOTE Board I can honestly say it’s the most stable board I’ve ever been on and their fishing set up is amazing. Can’t wait for the show in June!

Is that cooler set up as a live well? If so, any chance of seeing the setup?
