Vessel: SEAWOLF (6.1 surtees)
Skipper: Samuel Boyes( 8yrs old!)
General Location: whakatane
Comments:  3.5hour fight,daiwa sl20sh reel! Samuel did a fantastic job, for an 8yr old to drive a 6meter boat for 3.5hrs  by the end he was driving on it like a pro! circling round when it went under the boat then coming up on it perfectly with out needing instruction after the first 2 hours, then helping to secure it at boatside despite being terrified by all the thrashing and splashing! he must be in the running for skipper of the year!

Comments:  First marlin for me, and I've been trying for a long time. Hit long corner and stood up on its tail, then took off towards the horizon.
Fight took 25 minutes and was everything I imagined it would be. Harness broke about 1/2 way through fight.
