Stripey Marlin

[Tassie Fisher]

This is just a taste of what you can catch at Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, Australia.

My brother in law and a few of his mates were out hunting southern bluefin tuna and albacore when this lump of a fish took a fancy to one of their lures. It put up a massive fight, at one point taking at least 600m of line in a run..... I had also opened my big mouth, 4 days prior, and told him he didn't have a chance in hell of ever getting one, as there hasn't been one hooked here for about 4 years

Great fish mate - well done to your bro-in-law.
Thanks for sharing the pic, it's a cracker.
Should be titled 'Happiness is...'  
Cheers, Justin
PS Nice boat too - NZ made.

Very nice.

Man that's nice.  Nice boat, nice reels (look like Penn Internationals), and nice fish.  They are all smiling from ear to ear and I would be too.....

Ace!! The picture tells it all! Especially when you said "it couldn't be done."
