Tiburon narrow framed 114H vs marlin

Not that you are old but this reminds me of The Old Man and the Sea   At least you brought it back intact 

Marc..

Haha, thank you... When I had the gaff in one hand and I was trying to rip it's gills out to bleed it out with the other and it was thrashing around I felt pretty old.

Marcq took the words out of my mouth... Reminded me of the movie especially when I saw the ?panga? In the background. Really great catch Paul... You need a go pro camera to get that footage. Must have been a heck of a fight on a 6/0 but an even tougher fight when trying to gaff/land her.
Well done,
Dom

Paul: Good job.  I've caught dozens of Marlin with my 114HLW.  Sal is correct and I agree that reel will catch almost everything in the ocean (all other things being equal).  I also caught a marlin with Sal's tank, a modified 113.  Dominick

Was reminiscing with a friend and I pulled up this old post to show him one of my favorite fishing memories.

I am still really proud of this catch and several others that my trusty 6/0 allowed me to make.

Am living in mainland Japan now but haven't yet made it out to the deep blue where the big ones prowl. Soon I hope.

'Twas an epic adventure Paul - stoked you took us along.
Doesn't seem that long ago, but the years seem to be whipping by!
Hope you get out into the deep blue sometime soon.
All the best, Justin

Lone man on the sea, blue marlin, struggle to the death - someone ought to write a book about that!

Don't think that would go  over but do something with a Big White Whale

That's why the good Lord made the Penn 12/0.

I've always believed that solo adventures are where we are truly tested.  Video would have been awesome, but our imaginations are doing pretty good I think!
