Unfortunate ending!!

Post by Kp NT »

I got invited by my boss to go out fishing last thursday in his 26" blackwatch , spent the better part of the morning trolling around heaps of bait balls on the sounder lots of tuna schools and birds working.

Ended up raising 3 marlin, hooked one but ended up pulling the hook on him. It would of been my first black if the hook hadn't straightened out on it. Did manage to get some footage of it jumping (hopefully the link works)
