Trip Summary
It was a great day on the water with the guys.
We started off at one of the nearby fads and were getting covered up by small Yellowfin, Skipjack and even a Rainbow Runner.
After deciding they wanted to go for something bigger.
We put out the Marlin spread including our new short corner lure. It didnt take long and we got a crash bite on the short. The fish took off but only jumped once so we knew it would be pretty green on the leader. Our crew Laura got wraps on the leader but quickly had to dump the fish as it was a serious handful and we got some more jumps and a good show out of the fish. Quickly on the leader again and Laura had the fish under control. Once the fish was boatside on the last wrap the hook pulled, leaving the Marlin's eyeball still attached to the hook.
Not the ideal release but a caught fish none the less and the whole crew had a great time.
