Trip Summary

First hook up of the 2025 season for Flipper II lovely blue marlin hit left long and the reel screamed away. We quickly cleared all the lines and with our angler in the chair we started the fight. 5 minutes into the fight the fish turned and shook the hook. Shame this was only a three hour trip and with more time we may well have hooked up again. We saw plenty of life out there today. The season is starting!!
