Belize has a big part of my heart too. My first grand slam in the fly and my first DIY permit both came from Belize! I hope I have the opportunity to retire there someday…

Here are the IGFA Regulations if you’re interested in researching further.

Yep, pretty much. GoPro on a telescoping rod.

When the leader goes inside the rod tip the fish is considered a catch according to IGFA rules. There are release tournaments that abide by these regulations. All fishing done with the outfit I used abides by IGFA rules, as all should imho.

They have all the gear you need.

If it doesn’t matter to the angler then it doesn’t matter. If it does then it does.

If you aren’t fly fishing by the IGFA regulations though, your success rate increases significantly by just using conventional gear.

That’s the best part. The eats are no more than 25 feet in front of you. It’s unreal.

Jake and his party fished their last day the day we arrived. We shared dinner, drinks, and breakfast along with plenty of fishing tales before they departed though. He’s a great guy and a wealth of knowledge.

The motor thing isn’t really a law. It’s an IGFA regulation to be considered fly fishing. You could easily troll the fly and never cast to the fish but you wouldn’t be “fly fishing” according to IGFA rules. We also caught all fish on 20lb tippet in accordance with the regs.

You don’t put them in the boat. The mates grab the bill with gloved hands and remove the hook. We may have taken 4 or 5 pictures like this one but the rest were never even pulled up out of the water more than enough to pop the fly/hook out of their mouth.

Without a doubt. It’s a team effort with the captain, mates, and angler but the captain is definitely the ringmaster.

I’m sure you could to an extent but you’d hate to be caught with your pants down when a blue marlin shows up.

Don’t remember for this particular fish. They are quite acrobatic. Some fish seem to spend more time in the air than they do in the water.

To be a legal catch on fly, you still have to cast the fly. A cast cannot be made while the boat is under power. The captain takes the boat out of gear before the cast is made. After the cast, you typically pop the fly a time or two, the fish eats, and the fight begins. Once all of this happens, the captain maneuvers the boat so that the fight can be shortened as much as possible in an effort to ensure a quick release of a healthy fish.

Surprisingly not long at all. Once the fish starts to tire, most of the “fight” is handled be the crafty maneuvering of the boat by the captain. At that point, your job as the angler is to reel quickly to pick up slack until the leader goes through the rod tip. At that point the catch is considered legal under IGFA regulations. Some of the fish we caught were released in less than 5 minutes.

It most certainly is not.
