Thought this was pretty cool and worth posting. From the NSW fisheries newsletter: Jervis Bay Banks black marlin
A black marlin tagged and released by Mooloolaba GFC vessel Luna on 26 December 2014 whilst fishing wide off Caloundra, was recently reported as recaptured by southern NSW boat, Blood Vessel. The fish was released on a very memorable day for Luna as it was one of 23 black marlin tagged on that day!
Anglers aboard Blood Vessel hooked the tagged marlin on the 15 February 2015 whilst fishing an afternoon bite off the Sir John Young Banks, Jervis Bay, NSW. The marlin was at liberty for 51 days before it was recaptured and re-released, traveling a straight line distance of approximately 509 nautical miles in a south westerly direction. It was approximately 25 kg on release and was probably around 30 kg on recapture.
