Thank you to Andrew for his story on how he caught his marlin with the help of Team Multi

We prepared well for this competition and decided to target a striped marlin. Although we did the “Livey” thing, having seen how successful that was for John Graeme last year, we still had no success.

It was almost lines-up, we were in the zone where our skipper had caught marlin before so we changed the size of the lures and looked for a stripey. Luckily the timing was right and the first fish of the day was in my slot on the boat. I was on and quickly realised that if this was a stripey, it would complete the “Slam” for me. Black, blue and a stripey. What a relief when the call came that it was indeed my target fish, Needless to say, I had all the advice from an experienced crew with the normal amount of adjectives!

The fight was tough but worthwhile. We landed the marlin within the extra time. I have to thank my skipper and crew for the privilege.  There is really no better feeling for me to land a trophy fish like this. Maybe winning the World Cup, again!

It is always a privilege to be part of this tournament!!
