Trip Summary

We went out on the maiden voyageoffshore with the new Mercury SeaPro engines looking for yellowfin tuna on topwater.. They were not to be found by us or anyone but on the way we came across a submerged barrel. It had lots of bait on it so we grabbed a few and started trolling with live skippies. We had one marlin come up to one but it didn't eat.We got sharked on one as well. Trolling away from the area we hooked a blue marlin. After a 15 min fight we could land it. Right after setting up we got a sail. We had to start getting back as we were a ways out but had a great time!
