Hello folks..
Allow me to boast a little here. I have just returned from achieving my life's ambition, and got there on my first day.. wow I have actually just returned from a 2 day Game Fishing Trip to Bermague on New South Wales Sapphire Coast. I have always dreamed of catching a Black or Striped Marlin on the high seas, and guess what.. I caught a 100-110 kg - 244lbs - Striped Marlin on my first try. It is very hard to describe the feelings of having a screaming reel in your hand, and wondering,, How can I actually reel this Monster in... he is pulling so hard, and I felt so tiny hanging on to the rod, and winding as fast as possible, then having this Fish take over, and I end up further away from him as when I first hooked on. Anyway... after a titanic struggle for 45 min, with a massive amount of help from the skipper, using his boat handling skills to take up the slack on the line, moving his 30ft boat in and out like it was a 12 ft tinny.... I finally got him along side,,, Yes! - I Tagged and released, (T.R.)
Boy: it was just an emotional experience. one I will never forget.. As I finally sat back, to gather any strength that I had left, I couldn't help, but to replay the last 45 min in my mind.. It was just stunning.. Below are a few of my memories of this Magnificent Fish of the sea
