Thought I'd chuck this up on this forum too. Been a while since I've posted...

Caught and released a Marlin recently out off the Coro in my little tinny. Ate a livey and put up a good account of itself, especially as I was solo. First time editing a GoPro video and putting something on YouTube. Mind the expletives...

Cheers

Have only caught 3, and all have been solo as luck would have it.

Definitely gets the blood pumping!

Cheers mate

Thanks for that White Snake.

I like to think the side console comes into its own in these scenarios, but there are plenty of moments where it could quickly end in tears!

Hopefully this weather comes right soon!

Well done, Johnny. I'm too old to do a solo mission and I applaud your efforts.
Looking forward to seeing the video.
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

Awesome, Johnny. I know you've had a tough year or so, and even had thoughts of selling your trusty boat, so I'm very glad to see you're still charging. Out there doing it, as they say, and doing it your way...

Well done Johnny, and great video. Out of interest were live trolling the Jackie or teased up and fed a livey?

Cheers guys!

TTK, I decided to hold onto the boat after seeing how much it would cost to replace it down the track.... Crazy money! Got some good offers, and was so close to being gone.

Marligator, slow trolled the Maccy.
