Yes john he did! They were tuna fishing when the blue marlin exploded the surface and wacked the bait!! Joe is going giant fishing this weekend off the cape!!

That's great about the blue marlin being caught. Does anyone know a little more details of where the marlin was caught. That is a fun way to catch them, A few months ago I was chumming for tuna( yellowfin) when a 200lb blue marlin swam through our chum slick chasing skipjacks, so we through out a dead skipjack on 400lb mono leader on a fifty pound class outfit. Within 3 minutes and about twenty feet from the boat we were hooked up with a surface dancing blue marlin and we just barely had enough time to throw the anchor buoy overboard. That was first blue I ever caught on the stand still, it ended up being a very exciting fishing trip.

Wow, thas cool! So Bill, is that going up on the wall??? or did it go back into the drink???
