What an amazing day today fishing aboard Ol Jogi 2, with Campi, the fishing eas slow again today, we ended up with a bunch of Dorado, and a couple of small YFT. But...........we lost the biggest Markin i have ever seen, the skipper estimates it over 600lb, it took a lure on a Tiagra 50, and peeled off about 500m of line on its first run, jumping and going wild, it was an awesome spectacle to witness. Apparently a lot of big blues get lost this way, as they turn towards the boat, the throw a bow into the line, and then turn away agaain, and the sudden whiplash as the line pulls tight, just popped the main line. I was on the rod, and i was left knees shaking, sweating, and almost in tears.As Erwin Bursik said, its better to have loved for a short while, than to never have loved at all. That already made this trip, just to witness such a beautiful fish take flight. I love this sport more for it. So, we are not yet on the score board, and only 3 Sailies and 1 Stripey were caught today in total. Lindsay Austin got 1 of those Sailies,so he is as happy as a pig in the proverbial !!! Tomorrow is another day, and we are fishing with the top skipper. Our strategy is to boat a few Sailies early, and then head South to where we found that Monster today, and see if we can get a Marlin or two as well. The weather is stunning, the water was 29 deg today, and the most beautiful purple blue that you have ever seen.............and teh Captains are still flowing.........off to dinner now, and then a session with the Captain himself.
