I promise you, you will remember this fish much better because he was a worthy advisary, and he won his freedom! When you tell your grandkids someday, they will all be amazed, and have you tell them the story over and over. Too fricking cool bro, happy you got to have that experience in your life.
My first marlin that i ever caught ate a surface iron 10 feet from the transom, and i got to watch him open his mouth, eat it, and proceed to jump about 35 times. I had a jigmaster with 30 pound, and was on a yacht. I'll never forget that fish. |

Awesome hook up.. Nearly impossible to win that fight without help. One kayak does not have enough drag to wear out the marlin. The videos I have seen of Jim Sammons hooking up with them, had then tying up to 3 kayaks together and dragging legs and or paddles in the water, for extra drag. Even then they fought it for hours, but it can be done. Great memories there. Thanks for sharing.

Well it can actually be done solo with no extra drag it just takes a bit longer. Remember the first marlin I ever had to my kayak was in 1998 in La Jolla with only straight tied 20lb mono. 2 1/2 hours with no extra drag covered 8 miles. Even with the 48 billfish I have landed since I remember that day like it was yesterday.
