Wicked effort.
Was wondering whether it was actually hooked somehow, or got itself tangled up in the mainline.

I'd say it got tangled,no way a 20r lingline hook is gonna snare a marlin.

Sry..  I was just suggesting that its a pity that the kon tiki was notin they trophy pic.. the weigh in, say laying under the fish.
 I have no idea where the "trailer " thing comes in other than the back edge of it, and fail to understand what how that may represent a sea horse?
 
What is contrary about such a observation?
 Or querying something that I may have missed? and still dont see?

I still think it would have been re cool to have the kon tiki laying under the fish in the weigh in pic.
 Or how someone would have a problem with that thought??
