Today we went on a full-day trip to white marlin, and it was very special since it had been a long time since we’d seen so many marine species in one day. We started by seeing a swordfish and a hammerhead shark. A bit later, we saw a pod of common dolphins numbering about 50 individuals. To our surprise, behind the dolphins was a whale (I think a pilot whale), and whip we where watching them we had a white marlin strike, our newcomer Mels took to the rod and with some skill, released his first white marlin, he was radiant and had a huge smile on his face. We set everything up again, and in less than 10 minutes, his father, Coert, had caught the second white marlin of the day and skillfully brought to the boat to be tagged and released. The family had a fantastic day and they guaranteed they’d be back.

Another great day aboard SAL X, 1/3 in White Marlins. Laurence had his first experience with a 40lbs pelagic White Marlin, 20 minutes of combat will stay with him for a lifetime.

Daniel caught his first White Marlin the first time he came for Big Game. The leader broke in the hands of mate Luis Diogo. The fish weighed about 80 lbs. Congratulations to Daniel, friends, and the @off_ocean team. 1/2 White Marlin today.
