fat Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) 10:30 am saturday morning after 10 minutes of having the lines in the water zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz we were on. After a long 2 1/2 hour fight and my back brace and gimble braking we landed this 100-110kg striped marlin. Caught only a few mile away from baitstation. Water temp 24.5 degrees.

Guest Big-Banana Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Awesome! Had mates go North (Port) and South (Nowra), both having cracker days but to get a nice Blue of Sydney, can't beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Nice fish! Sorry to be negative but it does look a little like a stripie??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Hi guys, Well done, nice fish. Having been through the debate of stripes and juvenile blues (they have stripes evident) the fish in the photo, in my opinion, is a striped. The elongated lower jaw, length of bill and the size of the dorsal the main indicator. Some stripes can seem fairly solid through to the anal fin which have then mistaken for juvenile blues. What lure did the fish take?? Great fish. Cheers, Rabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same debate with a mate if it was a blue or striped.looking at the shape of the middle of tail as blue has a curve and striped is straight and where the vertical lines started and as the head comes up i called it a blue. But still not a 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
