VFR,

I wish it were a marlin, but its an Atlantic Sailfish (but size comparable to a White Marlin).

I have never caught a Marlin, but would LOVE to match up against one of those big blue ones. The longest I've ever fought a fish was 1 1/2 hrs, some of those things take 1/2 day. That has GOT to be tough.

Hey, did you hear the one about those guys that caught a marlin, one guy (divorced) stuck his old wedding ring on it's bill...catch and release...

Then a few years later, recaught the same damned fish!

So far, I haven't heard of it just being a fish tale...

E-Chick,

A Marlin walks in to a jewelry store and picks out a wedding ring. When asked if he will be paying cash, he says, ......................

Thats actually an amazing story because these fish move constantly up and down the Gulf Stream. I've heard of this before though, and tagging programs are showing that many of the same fish are being caught in the same places each year.

We hooked seven and caught seven that day (sailfish).

This is probably the best day fishing EVER.

We were interviewed after we docked by a fishery scientist........even the Captain bragged us up.

Capt. was Jeff Norton..........jetblasted used to work with him........the guy kicks ass.
