Nate Smith, Sandy: Hoping to make his Hawaii vacation just a little more memorable, Nate decided to go deep-sea fishing during a trip in March. He hauled in more than 548 pounds of memories when this blue marlin hit the squid he was fishing with. The fish fought for 45 minutes and is now hanging in the home of his parents in Soldotna, Alaska, while Nate completes his time at the University of Utah.
