I had the pleasure of taking out Dave MacEachern and his wife Triona this morning. Dave won Olympic gold for Canada in 1998 in the two man bobsled in Nagano, Japan.

Today, Dave settled for bronze, as he boated three tripletail that measured 17, 19, and 28 inches.

Triona landed an assortment of ladyfish, jack crevalle, and mackrel, as did Dave, and we had our shots at some very nice cobia, but they would not eat. One of these fish was swimming around with a medal of it’s own. It was towing a fishing float and about 3 feet of leader it took from some unlucky angler!
