en route to the Tuamotus Islands. stunning clear night with full moon, cool breeze and calm seas. had a marlin on for about ten minutes, jumped up on its tail and leaped four times– what a sight –ran out 300 yds of line in a anap before i tightened the drag and broke the line–looked about 200 plus pounds.. big thrill. this is a three day passage.
