Our first marlin
Submitted by marble on Sun, 2011-07-17 20:44
Both Bec and I got our first Marlin today. Weather was awsum (thanks Adam), the company lovely and we got two fish up for two fish released at the boat.
No good pics but a couple of quick vids. Any ideas on the sizes ??
Now I know what all the fuss is about :-)

Good stuff Ben. It certainly is addictive. I'm guessing that pretty pmy might be wearing a couple of battle scars now?
As a rough guess I would put them around the 50-60 kg mark. Looked quite thick across the shoulders.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Yeah it was pretty good day Jeff , I`m not too keen to get back into gamex though. Fished it four or five times when I was younger with Phil Tickle on Orange Peel, did pretty good too
. Bec is interested though so we probably will. . .
