We had a pretty slow season until now when it comes to marlinfishing but it seems to be true that when you have a long hard time you are saving up for something special. Well we had our special day today …s to marlinfishing but it seems to be true that when you have a long hard time you are saving up for something special. Well we had our special day today . Phil Riley (co owner in the Harmattan) and his friend Kevin Gardener went out with us for another day of trolling the deep. We fished the south west side of the island and around 1.30pm a massive fish hit the short left. In the distance we saw her lunging and she looked promissing. After 3 surface runs she went a bit deeper and for the last 90 minutes Kevin fought her on sunset.



Emil Ruud had to let go the leader 4 times (wiring his first marlin ever) until the fish was controlable .After 3 hours the fish was pretty finished and we brought her in. The scalemaster said 1320 pounds The shortlenght of the fish was 149 inches The girth was 83 inches and a touch less on the analfin but only 19.5 inches around the tail The fish was caught on the Black Bart abaco prowler.
