ALL HAIL GAIL — Angler Sophie Gail with her monster Constitution bluefin that taped out at 370 pounds, the heaviest caught so far this season. The kite fish ate a frozen flyer. Gail battled it using an Okuma PCH 4X rail rod coupled with a Makaira 50W, some nice boat gear. PHOTO COURTESY CONSTITUTION SPORTFISHING
She had a premonition something special was going to happen when she stepped foot aboard the Constitution the night prior. “I felt it in my bones,” she said. “It’s everything I ever wanted in my life, the sense of satisfaction is overwhelming.”
For Gail, the catch is a realization of a dream. “I thought I’d hit it at 35, I’m 28,” the young angler said. “Now I don’t know what I want to do.” She’ll have to find a new goal, because this fish will be hard to top.
She shared some advice for anglers chasing a similar dream. “I would say never give up hope and always focus on the dream. As long as you have the dream and the will to accomplish it, it will always be there.”
