One thing you can always say, you are one of the very few in Socal waters to every hook a Striped Marlin, and to fight it for that long is impressive indeed. Congrats on the feat!

It was last Thursday...

Yeah. 11/10/16. The water temp was in the mid-60s which made the hook up even more epic considering that we're not having tropical water temps at the moment.

Man... that would have been some serious weight to haul back to shore... AND not attract any scavenger/predator sharks.

I marlin fish with my dad...
 
For 17 years...in a 24ft skipjack...what poped the hook or the line, you need a big hook but I don't no what size they are using now days...it was at least 25yrs ago I have yet to see a small marlin off San Diego I'm surprised more kayaks arn't hooking up more using live mackerel.
With a boat you use the motor to wind to the fish and then the fish pulls out your line...that's how they catch them on such lite line with a kayak your kind of limited what you can do I released a big hammerhead that took me on a nice kayak ride pulled it up it was as big as my kayak
Any way congratulations...sounds like you did everything right maybe you lost it for a good reason tight lines:reeling:
