We steamed out for about 4 hours, to arrive 75 miles out, at sunrise. Lines went in about 5:45 am. At 5:51 am, we had a double knockdown, but lost one immediately. This one, however, made it for a short boatride.
This was the first billfish for everyone on board, so we were all pretty excited, and for those of you "in the know" my release was retarded for a marlin. I AM, after all, a tuna guy. I'll get it right next time. 
Sorry about the vertical video, the Captains better at finding fish, than running video. |

Great job SurfAnimal! beautiful fish! Thanks Bro. We trolled another 5/5 1/2 hours only to hook and lose a few mushies. We pounded the highfliers on the way home for only a few mahi. Just the same, mission accomplished. Now for a wahoo!

You fucked up.
Shoulda caught that fish a few miles south and about a month ago. The winning white marlin in the Ocean City White Marlin Open was worth a cool $1.2 million. Yours wasn't quite that big, but "it coulda been a contenda!" Nice fish OP

Surfy, the Stream has wandered close to sound for a few years now.
It used to be a freak catch to grab a Mahi or Yellow Fin. Now it seems a regular deal to catch these semi tropical species or am I wrong? Nice grab rookie! |

If you can reach them, you can catch all the pelagics you want. It's tough up here, but totally do-able. We're planning another canyon trip in three weeks.
Hell, in Fla, they motor out a few miles, and they're in the GS. I iz jelly!
