hal Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) Well after 2 weeks of being on a buzz from our MARLIN we got last trip.We were ready to do it again Called up the agents[KAMIL] & [GALIP] To go out and complete our mission once again, GALIP was a total stranger to the big blue sea,never the less he took the challenge. The weather was very ordinary as expected by us But 1 hour into our mission and the rain and clouds disappear,well kind of After an eternity of busting through small chops,we get close to browns,within 6 km,We notice another boat working the area,Turns out to be ZANZABAR,Hooked up to a marlin,plenty of birds working the area as well. By now GALIP on his 1st mission,is getting a sore neck from bending over the side of the boat,finally worked out why he was doing this Very close to browns mountain ,andthe short corner gets smashed But drops it But no sooner the short rigger goes off,im sure this happened on the last mission as well MR GALIPS 1ST Billfish off any kind, was a Short Billed hahahaha With all this excitement,forgot to mention the dolphin fish agent KAMIL got near 1 of the FADS.

Well NUDGE,We did hear that the record is 33kg The marlin was not weighed,But after holding it up,we estimate it to be well over the 33kg mark.

hal Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hal ,that fish would have given that weight a very good nudge me thinks and its a pity you did not weigh it as it could have been a possible world record and a Fishraider first Please submit your spearfish into the record section Cheers Swordfisherman Maybe next time we will Swordsfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Scerri Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 regardless of weight etc its a great catch guys and a top effort again from a 5m tinnie. Well done, very nice shorty. cheers Jas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_nsw Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 (edited) Please submit your spearfish into the record section Cheers Swordfisherman how can he submit it if he never weighed or measured it stew? BTW hal, awesome fish Edited December 25, 2006 by matt_nsw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luringbream Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Mate the first thing i thought when i saw that spearfish was FARRRRK, that must be a new record..That is definently over 33kg, i caught one that was around 1.4m and weighed around a little under 20, if you were to look at the pic of mine and the pic of yours, yours is way bigger and ALOT heavier!! However i thought the world record was around the 60 mark? Well done on the fish, they do put up a good fight!!! Isn't it amazing what you can catch out there!! And nice dollie too.. Any hint on which fad you got him at? DAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 55 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Nice catch Hal of something thats not real common Stewy Your rules so it all comes down to "The judge’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into" Let's go Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
