Cheers for a great day out,
Cheers for a great day out, had lots of fun! good to know there are still a few straggler mackkies around!
But it was more like 250m of braid peeled off in about 10 seconds off the 20k stella. then the suspected marlin did a jump clear out of the water 250m from the boat and still looked huge. pulled the anchor to start chasing the fish, but was too late and busted off!
not all asians keep undersize fish.

Not too hard to get to Rotto,
Not too hard to get to Rotto, its finding the exact demersal lump thats harder ;)
Looks like deja vu all over again, one on mono, one lost. Was a bit skeptical re calling it a marlin, but if it jumped, it would be unusual. Could be a mako or something similar, but whatever it was, it'll be the one that got away. Damn those fish, haha.
