Don't get excited it wasn't a fair shot on a free swimming fish 😊
Marlin hit my 9/0 reel that's strapped to the back stanchion on the sailboat, to be clear no rod! Smoked that reel! Had to jump in and try to shoot a green pissed off blue marlin 😨. Chased me out the water first try😲 but second round I almost stoned him, and then the drama of trying to get it aboard the sailboat began! 😁
The entire thing was smoked, delicious! Still waiting for my chance to get one while diving fair and square.
The reel it hit!
