San Antonio Spurs forward Austin Daye posted a photo on his social media account. As a newly crowned champion, Daye is enjoying his vacation. In the photo, he is holding a huge sailfish, smiling brightly against the blue sea and sky.
"Deep-sea fishing... has anyone ever caught a sailfish? ... Don't worry, we’ll put it back in the ocean," Daye wrote.
In fact, Daye isn’t the only athlete to recently catch a sailfish. Back in May, NFL wide receiver Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons also landed a sailfish. It’s worth noting that catching a sailfish is no easy feat. Known as the swimming champions of the animal kingdom, sailfish can reach an average speed of 90 km/h, and up to about 110 km/h over short distances, making them one of the fastest-swimming fish in short bursts.
