Submitted by Colt_Striker on Thu, 2016-03-10 16:21
5.11kg Dolly caught during MBFC comp, was a consolation prize after bring cut off on a marlin est 150 - 200kg 45 minutes in to the fight. Was hooked on 10" purple jet head skit connected to Tiagra 50W by 24kg mono, dumped half the spool on 1st run at strike.
Dolly turned out to be a great consolation prize taking out biggest game fish in th ecomp.

Only thing I can think is
Only thing I can think is something else swam through the line, fish was was about 60m from the boat & got about 20m back. Was clean cut, not frayed, curled or chaffed. Was an awesome show seeing it throwing it's self across the water for seveal minutes trying to throw the lure after.

Have had mackies take off billie lures at the swivel to leader before, not regular but does happen off exxy. Not a bad consolation though!
