8-24-07 Another fatty on the Marauder1

Marauder1 · 08-25-2007, 09:47 AM

Being that I start school again on monday, I had to get out to my second home atleast on more time. Conditions were good and the bite had been hot the previous night. Myself, Nick C, and Relentless33 departed Boca around 7 after some confusion at the dock and hauled out to the zone. Nick rigged some baits on the way out, and by sunset we had a full spread out. After drifting a few miles with no hits we began to wonder, there were some fish being reported on the radio. Soon after the middle jug goes down and Jr is on the rod. He gets crankin and then into the harness. After 20 minutes the fish starts actin like a marlin, jumping on the surface for over a minute, going in all directions, we all knew he was big, but could it really be a marlin? 10 minutes later after a crazy fight he swims by and gets two gaffs in the head and is pretty much beat

. Guess it was not a marlin :roflmao: .Haul him through the door and before we can get lines out we get another on, then another. For the next few miles things happened fast, we had 4 others hooked up and landed 2 of them, 55 and 48, and had a few others playing in the spread that would not commit. One of the ones we pulled off was pretty beefy. After the action died down, we realized what time it was, and we already had some work to do so we pulled em in and headed home. Big fish taped out to 81 inches, but had a monster bill and some pink meat

Enjoy
