On Saturday, June 17, George Glynatsis was trolling cedar plugs for yellowfin tuna aboard the Deep Drop, when an enormous dolphin struck. The fish peeled off heaps of 50-pound line from a Shimano Trinidad.

The hit came at 6:45 pm, 18 miles off of Lyford Cay, Nassau, Bahamas. Back at the dock, the fish weighed in at 84.6 pounds and measured 5 feet, 9 inches.

“I thought it grabbed the plug on the 30-pound outfit, so we wondered for a while if it was a record,” said Glynatsis.

Not quite, but still the fish of a lifetime.
