Hi guys... any one else out there enjoy being out on the ocean trying to catch the big ones?

Been a while but I do enjoy fishing for the big guys.
 
Impressive.
 
Last time I went big game fishing was in Barbados and I spent most the trip chumming for sharks over the edge of the boat :Vomit: :P Fisherman:
 
Enjoy being out there but don't always catch the big ones.

When I fished the deep sea I used to think THIS was the life... then when I went hunting... I thoiughtbthat was the life... mixed emotions... I haven't fishing for a while ( 3 x years), so I guess the hunting has won the race???

Absolutely... I tried for days to get them to take a fly... NOT INTERESTED. Then chucked out live bait... NADA. Swam up, knocked them around a bit.. literally dozens of marlin all around the boat following etc... eventually this one took a plastic on the troll!!140lber released back to the ocean..sailie also released... GLAD that sailie wasn't on the fly... gave me a hell of a fight on a light weight rod!!
 
Those are great photos and HUGE fish!
Thanks.. it was great fun catching them... most were released back into the ocean.. kept a few red snapper for the pot back at the Lodge!!
 
I think bill fishing is the life! I am going to hunt until my knees give out and then it will nothing but deep sea fishing for me. Strap me into the chair and lets go. Catching a marlin is the highlight of my fishing career.

Yep. Billfish are infectious. I like your Philosophy.. But no need to wait 'til your knees are gone. Do both!

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
