White Marlin

Well it was rough today…Gib and lil gibs joined me again today..We talked about it at the dock and decided to take the beating..Lil Gibs wanted to catch a marlin so off we went arriving an hour and a half behind the bigger boats..We set out and immediately caught a white marlin then we pulled off a couple and saw a couple more before catching another and we were all satisfied and over it. Headed her back in early..Great day thanks guys see you tomorrow..Congratulations on your first two billfish Gibs!!
