Worked the 520 in some sporty seas with Brian (bahast) Ken and John. Had the long rigger pop...do the drop back and come tight on a NICE white marlin. Get the release for John...his first bill...Dave had a blast backing down Billable Ours and having a wall of water crash over John and I. It was awesome!! Then proceeded to drag baits the rest of the day with no love. Things seemed slow all around today. Back at it in a couple of days.



tagged anbd released!!

Congrats on your first billfish, John. WTG Dave and Don. You guys seem to do quite well finding whites.

Who was more excited the Capt and Mate or the charter? Congrats you both have been through alot to get back in the game.

Very, very nice! Well done, my friends. Absolutely!!

Hey Dave, Don, and Pat - Thanks for the trip yesterday, it was good to catch up and see everyone doing well. The white was great, John will love the paper! We'll get the meat next time.
Take care,
Ken

Great job guys.
I was thinking about you when I took from the Manteo airport yesterday morning.Wind -060 @18 knots gusting 22. You must have REALLY wanted to go fishing!

Great job guys!

What an awesome experience catching my first marlin! Can't thank Dave and Don enough for helping to make it happen.

Not many folks get the premature creeking while still fighting the fish -- maybe a new tradition on Billable Ours?

Nice job guys!!! Hope you John and Brian are doing well... need to catch up... cya
