Tribute To Splash Down

Max-Cooler_728_90_xmas

Photo Gallery: The tradition of getting thrown into the water after capturing your first billfish or first personal grand slam or winning your first tournament is a common occurrence among the docks worldwide.  As a tribute to this tradition (which is hard to trace back to when, where and why in sportfishing history) the cover of InTheBite December 2014 print magazine displays a great action image of a guy who released his first ever blue marlin in Costa Rica.  We pulled a few photos from the splash down archives, with the help of photographer Richard Gibson, and decided to create a gallery showing the different styles of going into the drink. We encourage your photo submissions to add to our gallery but ultimately we just want to say congrats from InTheBite to all of you readers of the magazine and congrats to your firsts! send splash images to: [email protected]
