 Talking to the owner of Gemini marine yesterday, he said he heard or knew someone that was trolling in the Waitemata for Kahawai and foul hooked a Marlin! It was only small 20 - 30 Kg, and was hooked in one of its fins. They took a photo and released it.

 Anyone heard anything about this? Fact or Bulls$%%%

Closest one I've heard one of alive, was swiming was off gardners/rangitoto when skippies were running off  the bays a few years ago.  We don't talk about it much.  Was seen by a mate of mine who was out softbaiting for whom marlin are a non-target species.  This fella gets the odd 20 pound snapper locally and does not need to spin the truth.  So I believe him.  And I've seen a 20 pound snapper still flapping in his boot caught just over the way.  He has also seen a turtles and seals, rockfishing off bays. 

Ripleys, believe it or not?

Can neither confirm nor deny, Steve.
 
P.S. Are you selling an as new 37 kg calstar fully rollered rod in your $60 rod clear out, which I could buy and have delivered to my door... in tip top condition?
 
All the best in Aussie -some good fisihing over there too, especialy north of Brisbane before Newcastle ...where my bro in law hangs out.  They sometimes catch more marlin in a weekend than most of us see in a season.  Not sure where you're heading -but best of luck.

Coast guard hauled one that had dies and washed up on Wellington Reef this summer, they were called as it was thought to be a body... they're out there but who fishes for them, not many so not many caught I guess..
70ml of 90deg C water pressurised through 13g of roasted finely ground tamped coffee for 25sec's to make a distinguishing sensory hit called a Double Shot
