What you want on every charter is to catch the big one the first morning. What you don’t want is to wake up on the last day with the wind still at 25-30kts and no marlin. So we started early and fished hard and our luck changed.

Approaching mid-afternoon Geoff hooked up, but alas, the big blue jumped the hook. With the clock ticking, we fished on.




Then just off Hat Island, Kim hooked up.

As if to repay our patience, the blue jumped all over the ocean and gave Kim the fight of her life. It was her 1st marlin and she did a great job.

Congratulations Kim – you’re very lucky to have a husband who shares the thrills (even when you show him up every now and then).
