33 ft phantom III Capt. Pepe & deckhd Charlie.. I landed 2 for 3 striped marlin..
smokin hot bite....hard fightin easy 140+lbers..such violent head shakin fish
the one had me into the braid 7X in & back out..easy over 45 minutes to land the 2..
here we all are gasing up then gettin fresh bait
offshore ESE 10 knots..sub tropical beautiful blue water..
such an intelligent fish.. at the boat a quick dart towards me.. line goes slack, shaking like crazy..7..8 times..but the hook/barb still holds.. what a rush.. absolutely wow..incredible fish
no wonder so many chase the billfish..the marlin..32 years ago for me..Iam almost 64..
thats how i pulled off my double..thats my 2nd hooked fish below..still workin on my first..its the respect from the deckhand making sure the fisherman reels in all the fish.. ya one at a time..only once I had a Costa Rican deck hand reel in a 2nd on a double dorados March 2019..I don't forget it..and photos prove it..
ya wearing and using the belt is the best angling experience period
