180 KG BLUE MARLIN RELEASED
During the last days the trolling fishing was here in Puerto Rico very quiet.
Both boats caught during these days only some small Skipjack Tunas.
Yesterday, the EXPLORAMAR hooked in with a White Marlin, but this fish had taken a bonito lure.
Some beautiful jumps, made in only 2 minutes, an end on this show. Bad Luck.
The EXPLORAMAR was this afternoon still on their way back to the harbour, when they hooked in with a Blue Marlin.
The Marlin had taken de lure of the center rigger on a detph of only 70 meters.
It was angler Michel Tak from Holland who starts the fight with his first Blue Marlin ever.
Michel needed 45 minutes to bring the fish besides of the boat.
This Blue Marlin has been estimated by the crew at a weight of 180 kilo.
Michel and crew Billy and Oliver, congratulations again and thanks for releasing this beauty!
Hans
