Although most of the Gamefishing my clients savour aboard Bite Me is lighting to atmosphere tackle, I from time to time get the chance to flout out the arched stock 80s and go after spearfish. Every fighting beside these monsters is a erudition suffer. We have learnt a few belongings along the way and for what its worth, I will be placard a few examples, here is #3. You can swot up from them, or hoot at them. I suggest some.

12.15pm Kadavu Trench

Trolling a 4kg Skipjack opuntia tuna gait come-on rigged near a 14/0 Owner Super Mutu Circle hook. The hook was rigged to sit 4 inches up of the tuna's snout and related with waxed appurtenances filament. 9 feet of 400lb Ande leader, 19ft of coil on individual to a Melton arched butt end & Penn International STW 80.

A good indigo billfish sidles up aboard the bait and engulfs it departure a largish stoma in the effect and a big flash of grey wing as she turns. Skipper yells "big marlin" and plotter comes charging out of the bar to drop the come-on pay for and allow the dark blue to scarf up.

After 15 seconds the pupil calls for the tow to be relieved up. Road lashings up and the fish is aquiline. The dark-blue doesn't increase at all. She peels off strip but at a steady-going rate and sounds out and fur to more or less 100m. One time unit and fifteen records later we smashing her up bringing up the rear the yacht. A duo of pave the way thrashes and she comes in melodiously. Upside fallen softly. Now we are all distant. We facility her alongside the boat, pop the Billfish Foundation tag in and find that we can't see the catch. She's gut curved and the prejudice is conspicuous. We cut the soul into the oral fissure and beginning towing her down the watercraft. A disposable gaff near the tip stoppered beside a cork is used to grasp her unsloped. Sadly she does not get. She weighs in at 420lbs and is given to two provincial community schools to food the kids.

What went apposite ?

We went to the within your rights point.

We nearly new the rightly method to increase and catch up a light-blue on a round catch.

We used a lawfully starchy draw setting to bring down the aquatic vertebrate to the boat sooner instead than next.

We tested to pep up the aquatic vertebrate for one noticeable time, even then again the signs were bad.

What went wrong

The Owner Super Mutu catch is a KIRBED oval hook. The rig nearly new was not one of ours. It essential have been leftmost on the boat by a abovementioned schemer and in the laboring time of sweetener catching, my deckie grabbed the most primitive at the ready rig in the box and rapidly outrigged up a skipjack to get a hook out at hand briskly.

I didn't check the rig.

"In my submissive opinion"

Never use a kirbed disc hook for billfish outdoor sport. It will gut hook just as capably as a J hook and to gross matters worse, you retributive dropped it put a bet on ensuring you gut hook. You will virtually unquestionably kill the marlin.

Check everything twice over formerly you set a queue. Even if you are in a hurry. It in recent times may perhaps salvage you from a bad day.
