750 lb Blue Marlin

Post by Chalk »

My buddy Paul sent me this picture of a blue marlin that they caught in the Bahamas last Thursday - on JT51's holes. She was tail-wrapped and died....750-800 lbs.

If I ever change jobs - I'm calling Paul up first he travels the world chasing big fish :-D

I might have known someone would find that hole sooner or later.
That is a baby from that spot.

gorgeous fish, would love to read the report on the fight.


horrible that she died though :(

No reason to kill (or let die) a Marlin.

What part of it was tail wrapped, which is an unavoidable fallacy of this type fishing, did anyone not read?

Chalk, you would make a great attorney. The new non-reading America can be tough.

Sweet fish.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

I don't think it is a fallacy. I think it is really unavoidable.

PS That is a big bream.
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?
