Marlin

Hope this link works. Finally got around to posting this on youtube. I hooked into this beast (first ever) just out of Gnaraloo bay on the baby Okuma I bought from Honsu Chin. As you can see it caused much laughter and merriment as we couldn't quite bloody believe it

Fark! Did it swim towards the boat after hook up. I take it you ran out of line soon after

Hey Andy, that looks like a great fish....pity you never got to tag it.

Certainly put on a show for you and the rest of your crew.....were there any others hooked while you were at Gnaraloo?

Not that we knew of Rusty.

Not that we knew of Rusty. Although the first fish of that trip was a pretty good Dolly which we ate. I would rate that as one of my best. Yeah would have loved to have gotten it boatside for some pics. After 45 mins that fish was not tired.

 doesn't get much more exciting than that. Great fish. 

 

Honsu - would be nice if you sold me a reel that hooked such fish.
