Tough trip for my brother and friends with Gale SW weather swell and strong NE after but managed 2 days in pretty uncomfortable conditions dropping one marlin and landing some Yellowfin sushi on day 1, with another marlin dropped, a spearfish release and a good 30 kg Wahoo on the second. Very bummed not to release a Blue for the guys, but the water has been far from good having dropped 3 degrees from a week ago and the sea being nasty. Sign of good water moving in yesterday with a degree rise and good colour returning. Hopefully the westerlies will go back to where they originated and the weather will settle. One boat dropped a big Yellowfin in the deep yesterday so they still around on the outside line.

Well done that is a good sized 'hoo! What did you get it on? Also, what lure did you get the spear on?

Hoo trashed a new Big T "TT" UV purple skirted kona. Shortbill was on an hawaiian Marlin Magic AHI @#$$ JET after knocking a Big T "TT" UV pink/purple out of the clip!

Awesome! Man, those UV purple skirts are doing some serious damage up there - Marlin biscuits! Well done.

Fought a + -750lb blue on 30 lb for 3h 20 on Baluga today. Had it on the leader 4 times and lost it! A caught fish but no weight confirmation and no 20:1 catch!
A bitter pill ... will post some go pro photos in time - need a bit of alcohol right now!

WOW! That is a fat Momma, hard luck there Trevor. Must have been an epic battle. Any chance you can post a short clip of the fish jumping next to the boat? What size leader were you using on the 30# setup?

Reel Magic Charters · « **Reply #239 on:** December 03, 2012, 01:29:58 PM »

400 lb and yes when I can get this shitty new go pro mpeg 4 compressed file to edit!
