Thats's a really cool looking fish, congrats! Was it easy to land?

The fishing is a blast, congrats on your trips.

Our capt had a billfish tournament coming up and I got put on a tight timeframe to fight fish, ended up getting into 4 white marlin and it was quick release (cut leaders). Caught a bunch of dink mahi as well and that was it. It's a lot different that what I'm used to fishing off the TX coast, I won't run out far enough to get to blue water and opt to catch bull reds, kings & jacks on bass fishing tackle.

Pound for pound, I have yet to find a saltwater fish that is easy to land. For a modest size fish in shallow water, he pulled pretty hard. Maybe took 10 minutes to get him in. We also caught some 6-8# bonita that I would have sworn were 30# fish until we saw them.
