Some amazing footage was shot and will be worth a watch when it’s edited and ready in a few weeks. Follow reef hunter channel on YouTube and you will be in for a treat when the video launches. All I can say is anyone jumping in for a swim out wide and taking on a marlin has some big kahunas. All the boats in the area were really good and gave us room so big thanks to all that gave way. |

Lots of life with patches of birds sitting with there heads under the water looking for bait that is around . Hung in there till 1020 am and headed back to 137 m . Bang the shot gun went off with lots of weight , 30 seconds later 250 meters of wool out it burst out of the water with some good grey hounds . Had him 20 meters from the boat after 10 mins then it exploded out of the water . Holy **** , it was impressive. This was a tough fight which went 1 and a half hours . Didn’t have a harness either as I forgot it . Had a courtesy weigh with Muriwai sport fishing club , big thanks to them . Small Zuker black and purple feathers did the trick . Also got a bin of snapper . Cool day out there . |
