After a couple of quiet days we did inshore fishing for a couple of hours and went marlinfishing at noon. It was very quiet until 3.30 when a very big fish eate the Bonze Mongrel Dog. At first she didn´t take any line but as she felt pressure she started racing off. Unfortunately she didn´t do that on the surface so it was very difficult to keep up with her. After two minutes of hard backing down over the corner we had 800 yards of line out and I was getting very worried. The angle of the line came up a bit and I had to take the chance to turn the boat. Phil Riley finally gained slowly on her.After 1 hour Colin got the leader
