If the first place fish was 6.25, how big was fifth? Sounds like a lot of small fish out there. I was out on the canyons off Pacific Light yesterday pulling four marlin lures (wishful thinking). Didn't even take any light tackle or bait since wasn't interested in anything else. Had tiny dolphin chasing our lures on several occasions. Five managed to get themselves hooked despite us trying to avoid them. Kept 4 around 22"-24" and released one right at 20". Saw several even smaller. Unlike off PE we had almost no birds. Dis see a blue marlin jump in the distance so we were in the right area but you know how that type of fishing goes.

I remember when a dolphin tournament in June would take at least 35-40 lbs to win. Times sure have changed.

Let’s face it….Miami Dade waters are at the tail end of a 100 mile corridor of intense offshore sportfishing for the species. I would guess that just in the middle keys alone there are no less then 500 offshore sportfishing boats. Then multiply that by a factor of two or three for the lower and upper keys. Just a month ago the Marathon dolphin tournament had no shortage of larger fish.
