The mighty "Gale Force" (Viking 54) won the T&R competition with a single striped marlin on 10KG which was switch baited early Sunday afternoon in 5m seas with a 30knot wind blowing!

This is the rather large set at the point of hookup:

This is what the cockpit looked like when we were backing downn on the fish:

The celebrations after the tag went in:

With that fish we won:

- Champion Angler T&R

- Champion Boat T&R Marlin

- Champion Boat T&R Overall

Lowsy conditions, but a happy crew!

Lets hope the yellowfin turn up soon because the marlin fishing is certainly very quiet.

Only a small fella - circa 50KG. We didn't know how big it was when we switched, but were happy it was a baby once we hooked up and started chasing it. A bigger fish on 10kg would have probably gone deep and been impossible to get up in the attrocious conditions!
