THE FIGHT NEVER STOPS!! ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ก๏ธ๐ This Marlin was roughly 250 pounds and 9 feet long for reference ๐ชโ
Just because youโve got a leader touch doesnโt mean itโs over!! They have so much power and stamina ๐ช๐ช My fishing BUCKET LIST has one more checked off (My FIRST MARLIN!) and it was everything I hoped it would be, and much more โฆ AND complete luck๐ This big girl was with another monster patrolling the oil rigs 80 miles off Louisiana (literally a mile deep) and lit up while we were fighting a big tuna in the other direction. Iโm still smiling months later about this experience, and there is no other fish on the planet that matches a marlinโs speed, power, and freakish athleticism ๐ Thank you to @haddadbart @southernwaycharters @mexican_gulf_fishing @jarrett_ogrady12 for another memorable trip ๐ฏ๐ฏ PS: For the always doubting everything fishing crowd WE DID NOT bring this fish on the boat (for obvious reasons) do the size estimate is just that โ an estimate from the captain, mate, and myself โ based on 100+ years combined of chasing sea monsters ๐๐๐ #kastking #nextcatch #mcduffiemarine #esearider #fish #fishing #marlin #ocean #bucketlist #reelitfeelit #trending #exploremore #reels #fyp #foryou
