It's all about timing!

[blwngsket]

Lets go to mexico for a couple O weeks the wife says.
Sure, I like standing in the ocean and drinking beer as much as the next guy.

Lets go fishing I says. Sure, the wife says. I like fresh fish as much as the next guy.

We know the guy who won the Bisbee 2 years ago and he says lets go. Meet me at the boat on Saturday.

3 hours later I'm in the chair fighting a 544 lbs blue marlin. 3 hours in, it dives 2000 ft, breaks the pole and dies due to the cold water. Took 2 hours, 2 bottles of Stoli, 1 bottle of Crown Royal and 5 of us to drag it up to the surface.

Turns out that fish was big enough to win the last 4 Bisbee tournaments. This years starts in just a few days.

I was wondering why the boat owner kept yelling, " Holy shit. That's a 2 million dollar fish."

Timing is everything. Mine is off just a little bit.

Re: It's all about timing!

Congrats on the haul! I have a Marlin under my belt too. Mine was caught off Maui a few years back, 2.5 hour fight at an even 300lbs. Sitting in the chair for 2.5 hours backing the boat down to bring in the line with 8ft swells coming in the back of the boat. Nothing like it in the world! Congrats again!

Re: It's all about timing!

This is my fourth and biggest Marlin. Gonna be hard to beat. It's all fun and games untill the adrenaline wears off. After the first 45 minutes to an hour. Then it becomes pure torture.
Going again in January. Maybe something easy. Like Tuna

GREAT MARLIN!!!!

We went to the Bisbee last year and only got Mahi Mahi...and a lot of it. The Tiki bar had fun preparing it all.

We know the Bisbee family and the owner of the tourney, Wayne through my brother in law who does the money side for the family. Great people and a fun time!! Not going this year unfortunately.
