Yeh most ppl don't take marlin out the water around here. If u get your hands on the bill that is considered "landing" it and u release it on the side of the boat. Maybe next time! Lol

I would probably try to get a pic w/ the fish also for my first one. Hopefully i can land one on my first attempt...:eek: or at least a hook up. I'll definitely have video rolling.

Yeh wait till that thing starts jumping out the water. Gets that blood pumpin.

here is one my good friend won the oarnge beach tourney with last summer i think it went 837#

BEAST!!!!

that is a monster. after the one i caught, i landed about a 80lb yellowfin that night and couldnt even fight another fish. i had to just sit back and watch as my buddies were landing monster yellowfins. i would hate to see what one like that would do to me! my uncle caught one about that big when i was a kid. i was looking at pics the other day!
