Caught a Blue Marlin - - - Miss-Be-Haven

[The Classic]

How bout one of those water skiiing camera mounts, they follow where ever the water skiier's rope is. So just tie the rope around your waist and presto, professional film for the solo fisherman.

Just simply - WOW

What an accomplishment - Congratulations!

Thats what dreams are made of

Gus, that's great! The IGFA rule regarding that; is, that if you touch the leader prior to the fish getting loose, it's considered a release. Congrats!!!


On the BM's length, was that measurement from the tip of it's bill to the fork of it's tail?

Auguste

congratulation on the marlin and bringing it to the boatalso
the great release.

[Bruce W]

WOW, Gus - you are FINDIN' the big 'uns!!!

I was trying to picture all that in my mind - I would have needed "the bucket" after hookin' that one!

Leave the RADIO at the dock next time - but TAKE THE CAMERA!!!

CONGRATS (sounds like it was a legit "release"!) and KEEP ON FISHIN'!!!!!

I don't think you'll be goin' home as soon as you THOUGHT!!!!!

Regards,

you've caught yellowfin tuna and a blue marlin, on your first trips out, on your boat, alone and without a guide

Thanks

Excellent work my friend!!!!

Paul

Paul (Reel Obsession) showed me how to pin rig ballyhoo and Paul and Mark (Offshore3144) showed me how to set up and use the outriggers.

The rest was $hit luck

Boy talk about something to get your heart pounding, it must have been a relief when your got him under control, PHEW! and the fight out there alone on the boat must have been almost surreal. Congratulations Auguste!!

[Sashamy]

Surreal is when you have ten hot naked women around you wanting to only please you...catching a marlin on your own is well just fun...but definitly not surreal...

[MisconductOIB]

I think its great and a awsome job. I could not have done it and I've been fishing 20 odd years with a couple of Men in Blue Suits under my belt. Keep it up!!! Gives us other guys hopes...

At my age, that's a heart attack!!! I'll settle for 5 women and the marlin!!!!

[ReelWork]

Auguste, that is awesome and I'm glad to see your breakin in the rig right with bloody decks, crazy run-arounds chasing fish and all by yourself I might add..

To add a little ingenuity to your "camera" idea, how about putting up a "Miss-Be-Haven" web cam! LOL
