Bermagui success!

[scott__henning]

Fished the Bermagui Bluewater Classic over the weekend with a few mates, and was pretty stoked to tag my first Marlin!

We managed 5.2.1 for the weekend, with some doughy fish not interested in biting, however the excitement of that first tag made up for it all, in the dying minutes of the last day of the comp.

Got him up on the teaser and pitched a livie to him, which he promptly swallowed at the back of the boat.

Fight time was over an hour, on 15kg gear, needless to say my arms are a tad stretched, awesome fun!

He went a absolutely ballistic in the first 10 minutes, some epic go pro footage to come soon. Here's a snippet
