went out today off the Tweed and got 1 hoo at 14kg then went wide and got a pb blue marlin . It measured 290 short point and estimates at 250kg .
Was caught on 37kg standup on my boat the Haggis .
After it emptied over half my 80 wide it was like winding your boat on its trailer a thousand times except more fun![]()
Was tagged and released after about 35 min . It also had a hook which was probably from a longliner in its mouth which i also removed free of charge
conditions out wide were as good as it gets
