Check out the bait still visable in the corner of his mouth! This was Big Ray's first monster sail of the trip.

Half Pint (Jeremy) Mate abourd the Dream Raiser. He's only 15 years old and has already been to Marlin University! Capt Mel Erickson put some serious time and money into his crew and it shows. In this photo we were still busy releasing Aly's first sail when I noticed that Half Pint already had two teasers out and was clipping one of the bait rods in. Watch for this little Jr. Legend in the future. He will probably be gracing the cover of blue water magazines on your local book shelf someday. He and and Aly are now BFF's. Hahahaha.
