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.

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.

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

PS That is a big bream.
