Headed out about 5a.m. toward 380. Started fishing in 500 ft. Nice dolphin hit the planer first thing then we boated a few more phins early. Then as I looked back at my center rig dancing around nicely…BAM…Blue Marlin slammed it! She danced around and put on a nice show. After a 45 min fight we got her to the boat. Revived her and she swam off. It amazes me how boats will troll their spread next to you while your obviously not trolling and are fighting a fish. Its a good thing our Marlin was down deep and not making a run when this boat trolled 200 ft next to us. Anyway…fun day…17 dolphin and a Blue. Had a first timer on the boat…he sure picked a good day!
