Great report. Sounds like a great day.

Well done Erroll! Certainly busted the cherry in a big way! To catch a Marlin so close to home in your own boat is a big achievement. That will be a day we will all remember for a very long time. To see her in the water all lit up was an amazing sight! You fought her very well. We'll never know the exact length and weight, but we'll always know how awesome that day was.

Awesome fish! It's a great anticipation when you get good livies and lob them over the side - you always hope for the cracker king and you guys nailed it!

I read the title of the post and I thought, 'I wonder if that's Chewie?'. But I remembered you were meant to be a on a romantic weekend away so figured, no way!! Sure, enough. Nice fish there mate and a great part of the world.

First hood post on the season?! Great stuff!

Erroll, Well done on finally breaking the drought - with a massive downpour. It's hard working getting everything to align (weather, fish, day off, mates with a day off, wifey, boat, etc) and you smashed it. Great stuff. I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!

Maybe give circle hooks a go too. Particularly if you want to release all your catch. Any one recommend a good circle for bream?

Cracker, well done!

Couple of beautiful looking fish there. Nice work of the strategy too, well done.

Same! I also got the best by catch ever when a snapper took my down rigged yakka on the weekend. Flukey, but I smiled for days!!

Nice! I got a 57cm one on the weekend (caught on a downrigged yakka!). 75cm is superb.

Bonnie is superb sashimi. Good tip is to get it cold so it firms up a bit. One recommendation is to wrap the fillet in glad wrap and keep it in the fridge over night. Great work and impressive kitchen skills. Great idea to buy the rice from the local restaurant.

The King in the photo looks a beast! Nice work

Brilliant fish mate. You look just a little bit happy!!

22kg king on a popper!! That would have got the heart pumping. Amazing work all round. Well done.
