After 4 hours of trolling from 200m to 450m we see a bow wave come from 50m behind the last skip bait and chase onto it with what seemed like a marlin action, but too far out to see definitively what it was. We had seen 3 free jumping marlin in the area already and were thinking f*** yes, this is it, we've got him up. After a quick freespool we got a solid hookup and spent the next 25 minutes fighting on 24kg to get this stinkn grey coat. I couldn't bring myself to take a photo of the devastation in Jeffo's face... Talk about fishwrecked!

7ft
Probably 7ft odd, watching the bow wave come in on the queenie looked sooo good. The sharks followed us every yesterday, we did 68 miles and every stop had them, was unbelievable.
