Well peep's
I have been on many boats and caught a few marlin before but never caught one off our own boat (ive been trying don't you worry) But everything finally came together and we finally got one a 82 kg marlin on 24kg line. down at the blue water classic in Bermagui mind u the 9 game boats that i was in amongst didn't have the same enthusiasm that i did hmmm wonder why ???? I dont like killing marlin but to make dad happy knocked him and i found out by Julian Pepperall that he was a he so i did not feel so bad once i found that out. I had the biggest capture for day 2 of the tournament in the marlin category. but got bumped off on day 3 by a 141kg striped marlin on 15Kg to a junior and i do have to say well done i know rooster the skipper driving the boat and the junior did do it tough so well done !!! BTW its a NSW and AUSTRALIAN record !!!!! also dave casser off slammer lost a est 950 LB blue (his account) and from all other accounts of OTHER PEOPLE seeing the fish it was easily 800 + and that was saw by alot of people and alot of experienced fishermen !!! GOT TO LOVE THE 12 MILE REEF !!!!

gentlemen of the forum,it is time for the definite debate for the rights and the wrongs of taking such beautiful animals. do we take them and weigh them as a dead mass on a hook or should we release these creatures and try,, with all honesty to estimate a weight and girth.

It's a can of worms Poly, you could ask the same question about any fish.
I'll never keep another one but if someone wants to then I'm OK with that too. I think most people want to keep their 1st one and after that they get over it anyway. --------------------  SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

Well done on the fishing.
I think you can start another thread of keeping or releasing fish. |

Poly i eat marlin and quite like the meaty flesh that it has the fish did not get molded or wasted we ate it as food and it fed alot of people. these are not the easiest of fish to catch and we have been trying to catch one on lures on our boat for 4 years !! taking one a year per boat is still sustainable fishing as far as i am concerned whats not sustainable is when the whole south coast long line fleet turn our and wipe them all out !!

QUOTE (poly @ Jan 31 2010, 08:14 PM)  gentlemen of the forum,it is time for the definite debate for the rights and the wrongs of taking such beautiful animals. Paul There's no real right or wrong It all falls down to the descretion of the angler, he or she caught the fish & it's really nobody else's buisness No different to how peeps will take every brim, snapper, kungy etc etc they catch I've killed my fair share of marlins in my time but refuse to do so these days & that's the no 1 rule on my boat, they all get released unless they come up dead, I may not catch as many these days prob because I refuse to troll live baits for them. Live baits will result in more deaths cause the hook gets swallowed & generally embeds alot further down the fushy's gob, can also pierce a vital organ as was the case many many moons ago when a 1000lb'r was landed out of a 16 ft tinny. Alex knows wot I'm like & how I like to pay out when peeps I know kill marlin esp after he posts a comment like this QUOTE I dont like killing marlin Well that comment deserved my shit stiring Wun thing I am happy about on my goats is that even sum wun who's never seen a marlins B4 is only to happy to release their 1st wun, it all comes down to the skipper on any boat, explain to the crew that it's A O K to release fish & they get hooked on the idea -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

QUOTE (alex @ Feb 2 2010, 10:42 AM) Yeah its true i dont like killing them jump And Me Tinks ewe know how much I like shit stiring ewe Hey ! hu's that old fart in the pic & Wi ewe wearing a Lowrance head cover for Magic colours on them stick heads esp when they light up in the water B4 they strike, now have a look @ it hanging up I'm sure that was a few hrs later & ewe can still see the stripes & silver underbelly. Twas a turkey on another site sum time back trying to tell evllybloody he's caught a Blue, when indeed it was a Stripe, He got the Poo Poo's when I corrected him & refused to accept the fush was a Stripe. Wun thing I've observed with Blue's is they'll fade to a dark grey virtually b4 your eyes wunce dead & ewe cant help thinking why did I kill it for They are a beautiful fushy & think that's wot poly was on about when he said it's a shame to kill them -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Well done Alex...that's a great catch there....
 I am of the opinion....any legal fish I catch which will be eaten fresh...then it comes home with me... If it is not going to be eaten, then it goes back...but rest assured with such a large family they will always be eaten......just ask Christos..... I have never eaten any game fish. Is Marlin good eating or not ?? -------------------- FISHING beats Working

We hear a lot about Mrs Majeds Hommus. How about a recipe and method for those of us who can only imagine what it tastes like?
