Trip Summary
On that morning with no activity along the dropoff we decided to try our luck a bit further south. Sea was good and we spotted a few birds and caught a wahoo and shortly after we had 2 yellowfin tuna on the lines.During the fight there was a heavy rain and wind picked ip and the sea got rough and tough.After boating the two 80lbs tunas we headed downwind and did not find much.About an hour before heading back we had a strike on the long rigger lure and saw that huge black marlin taking to the air.The fish did not take too much line but was very stubborn and did not want to move from where it was.Our regular customer Mr Chris did an excellent job on the chair but a fish that size wears you out and time was going by.After trying trick after trick the fish was finally starting to get uncomfortable and came up and made some beautiful jumps just to show its size and power. Some time later ,as we were getting ready with the gaffs and the fish was just 2 meters away from the boat with leader in hand, the leader broke due to the many hours chafing with the bill. Some could say a nice release.We could just watch the beautiful fish slowly swim away...see you another day
