Marlin In Bali

[mrsswordfisherman]

This is a report from our Bali correspondant fast_edi

Today I get the marlin 38 kg on light tackle PE 4 and jig 60 gram { for spinning jig } because this the season for spanish mackerel {tenggiri in indonesia} in the front kuta beach area, and 2 spanish macarel 5 kg and 7 kg . We use the traditional boat and small enggine 15 hp, in that location lot of school fish for bait that why many big fish come around to kuta beach area. It's take 30 minute to bring the fish out of the water, because i dont want lose the fish i have to follow him after he pull my line out about 200 meter my heart pumping after i saw the fish jump out the water few time, i'm worry because the small hook on the small spinning jig, but step by step and slowly i bring the fish close to the boat around 10 meter he run again with the high speed about 75 meter , it,s fun and scary if lose .
