Hi Guys, I caught it off exmouth, and it is the 1 and only Marlin I have caught so far, and the fight was not quiet what I expected, it came straight into the boat without a tail dance or anything!
Anyhow, I am just stoked that I have caught 1, I was think that it was going to be a life long journey to try and catch 1.
Thanks Colin, the marlin is mine, but the boat belongs to one of my other mates on the boat, we fish with it as regularly as we can well off-shore, however, it would be greatly improved if it had storm covers on it, as you can tend to get very wet when hitting big swell.
Regardless, I am very greatful to be able to go out and fish on a boat of that size and calibre!
