Caught my first Marlin today

Man, I am tired. Fought him over an hour. Glad to land him. Deck hand was so stoked he wanted a pic with it.

Well dang, I need to flip the pics around, also got a Mahi Mahi

Were you fishing in Australia.. as in down under... just kidding.

Congrats on the Marlin. I was with my dad a long long time ago when he caught his first marlin. Grand fish for sure. Congratulations

Congrats !!!

See if this works better, now im on a laptop

I had no idea they fought so hard, and I was kind of annoyed at my guide for making me fight it the first 50 minutes with no belt. About 50 mins in he said here, wear this belt and man did it help me out.....I could reel on the way down and use my legs on the way back up with the rod......

Little bit better picture of it coming into the boat, man when the sun hit it it just sparkled a magnificent color....and I had no idea the sun darkened them when they were out of the water for a short period

Well done sir. Where were you fishing?:

King of the ocean brother, very nice fish...

Nice marlin and Mahi Mahi , always wanted to catch a marlin, those Mahi Mahi are fun to catch and nothing more delicious than fresh Mahi Mahi on the grill. Off the coast in ft lauderdale they would go float 2x4s or barrels for the Mahi Mahi and we would drive by them and pull Mahi Mahi after Mahi Mahi off them.

Wow! Two nice fish right there.
Where were you?

Nice fish and Congratulations! Good job.

Thanks, took a trip last week to St. Lucia, only thing that stinks is if you catch fish on their boats (the guides) the fish belong to them.

that is awesome

what do you do with the marlin?

Nice!

I had to give the fish to them, they said down in St Lucia all fish caught belong to the boat. I challenged them on it and they pointed to a small sign on the boat.

wow
so they didn't give you a few steaks or anything?
thats a great pair of fish anyway

Nope, said down there all fish are the property of the boat so they kept all of them. Oh well, at least I got to experience catching that thing, it was the best thing ever! No fish even comes close to that fish.

Super nice fishes', I lived and fished Sea of Cortez,(San Carlos, Sonora, had my on boat but never heard of such rules from guides in that area.....

Great fish but I know where I won't be taking a trip. Mahi Mahi is to good in a grill to be giving away

Id have said I paid for the charter so its mine or buy the fish from me . That is a ripoff!

I agree, this is the guide/charter

I'm going to mention this in my review
