Newports land sailfish on Mexican anniversary trip
Cedar Rapids couple celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary with a dream fishing trip to Acapulco Mexico. On March 7 they chartered a boat 20 miles off the coast and were the only anglers among 20 to 30 boats to hook sailfish. The two fish weighed 130 and 120 pounds respectively and one was 8 feet 11 inches long. The larger fish will be mounted and sent home to Cedar Rapids.
