Decided to eat the small Shotgun Zuker zukuni which was Interesting. Luckily rigged a Bit heavier for this scenario. Hooked up at 130m where there was plenty of Sauri and also a few skippies and albies. Seemed 90-100m also had a fair bit of action so there must be a few around. Good sign on the first decent weather window we've had for Awhile. |

Estimated 97kg (based on girth and length measurements). First time ever trolling for Marlin so very exciting to hook and then land one (father in law on the rod). Lots of skippies out there but didn't pick up any Albacore. |
