First time out

[M.R.Ducks]

Went on my honeymoon last week to punta can Dominican republic. Decided to do a couple of excursions and one of the ones listed was fishing. My wife was down to go so we went. Half a day adventure deal. Out for 2 hours and we hook something. I'm near the hot seat and sit down and take over. 20-25 minutes later we have a 70-80 lb white marlin. An hour later the guy behind me hooks a 60-70 lb white marlin. 6 of us went out and 4 got sick except for me and the wife. Can't remember the last time I had so much fun and what a fight. Something to remember for a long time.

You are better than 90% of those cats with marlin stickers on their back glass now.

The only billfish I've ever fought is a sailfish. Taking on an animal like that is a challenge. Some do it all the time, some only do it a few times. Either way. It's something to be proud of.

congrats, a memory for a lifetime.shame your wife didn't get one too.

i've caught a number of sails and also a blue marlin which was caught on 20lb tackle.
the release flag for the marlin is hanging on my wall in a frame.
