Fly fisherman who venture to providence atoll, in the seychelles, have more than a couple of options of fish to target. There’s tuna, wahoo and sailfish…bonefish, triggerfish and milkfish…and giant trevally-emphasis on the “giant.”¿ In February, angler Keith Rumble, fishing with a 12-weight fly rod, won a battle with a sweet GT that measured 46 inches. Rumble’s guide estimated the fish to weigh more than 60 pounds! Courtesy Of Gerhard Laubscher

The boys from Reel Peace Charters in Louisiana put another happy angler onto another big fish. This time Captain Devlin Roussel helped nine-year-old old salt Michael Kurras catch a blackfin tuna that was just 12 ounces shy of outdoing the current 26-pound smallfry record-and gives Kurras some major bragging rights at recess.

Somebody give Julie Ball a sash that reads, “Miss ‘Tog 2007.”¿ Fishing off Virginia Beach, Ball caught a 15-pound, ten-ounce tautog on eight-pound line-a pending women’s line-class record. “I could tell I had (the old record) licked,”¿ Ball said, comparing her fish to the current ten-pound, four-ounce record. “I did a little jig.”¿ Courtesy Of Julie Ball
