Yarraone Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Vanuata Holiday and just had to get out there for a fish.. Stewie said ' Don't waste your time doing a 4 hour charter" but time is limited so here you go Stewie.... Great weather, great people and even the owner said .. the same thing... you cant catch a marlin in a 4 hour charter....? Well, they didnt come fishing wit Ratu Sean before.... Worked the fad and landed 4 Mahi Mahi, 1 Waahoo and yellow fin .. then on the way back in trolled for Marlin.... then only a few km's from the headland off she went.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz After 2 3/4 hours later unfortunatly she died in the fight but I had a BLUE MARLIN Caught: Vanuatu 37kg line black skirt Lure 2 3/4 hours to land BLUE MARLIN........Approx 180kg Edited November 3, 2015 by yarraone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yarraone Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Had a awesome day and a bit sore the next day... It was so sad that she died towards the end of the fight.. but if ithad of been a full day charter it may not have happened.. we worked the fad untill we headed for home and hooked up on the way back in only about 2 km from the headland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Awesome Sean! Did they charge you extra for the extended trip? Almost 3hrs on a rod and reel is not for the faint hearted or limped wristed for that matter. Top effort champ! Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharknett Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Great result. Had a similar experience in NZ's Bay if Islands a few years ago. 189kg blue hooked on 37kg. At the boat in about 1hr 20 but could not revive the fish. Had a fair bit smoked, vaccuum packed & deep chilled for the trip home, rest went to local community. Also had the bill treated which I'm pretty sure is my wifes least favourite thing on our mantle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike89 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Nice work. Years ago on a family holiday in Fiji we set out on a fishing trip and ended up with a big fat donut. You've got some highly sought after fish there. Dolphins, YFT and the great marlin. Must have had a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
