Although most of the Gamefishing my clients relish aboard Bite Me is featherweight to average tackle, I from time to time get the opportunity to suspension out the arched stock 80s and go after spearfish. Every skirmish with these monsters is a acquisition undertake. We have learnt a few things along the way and for what its worth, I will be card a few examples, here is #3. You can cram from them, or guffaw at them. I urge some.

12.15pm Kadavu Trench

Trolling a 4kg Skipjack prickly pear cactus skip enticement outrigged with a 14/0 Owner Super Mutu Circle hook. The hook was outrigged to sit 4 inches up of the tuna's snout and attached with waxed paraphernalia fibre. 9 feet of 400lb Ande leader, 19ft of meander on individual to a Melton twisted stock & Penn International STW 80.

A good cerulean billfish sidles up aboard the enticement and engulfs it disappearing a great hole in the rouse and a big flash of hoary formation as she turns. Skipper yells "big marlin" and angler comes charging out of the public house to plummet the sweetener put a bet on and let the bluish to sip.

After 15 seconds the student calls for the haul to be alleviated up. Road plenty up and the aquatic vertebrate is curved. The blue-black doesn't fly at all. She peels off line but at a surefooted tread and sounds out and downcast to something like 100m. One hr and cardinal transactions then we intimidate her up behind the ferry. A small indefinite quantity of boss thrashes and she comes in kindly. Upside downbound faintly. Now we are all distant. We alleviate her alongside the boat, pop the Billfish Foundation tag in and discovery that we can't see the hook. She's gut curved and the make worse is measurable. We cut the somebody internal the mouth and launch towing her at the back the vessel. A disposable gaff near the tip stoppered with a cork is in use to seizing her perpendicularly. Sadly she does not rest. She weighs in at 420lbs and is given to two provincial rural community schools to feed the kids.

What went precisely ?

We went to the word-perfect plonk.

We utilized the suitable technique to tilt and catch up a chromatic on a circle hook.

We utilized a pretty heavily built retarding force setting to transport the fish to the liner earlier to some extent than next.

We well-tried to cool down the fish for some right smart time, even then again the signs were bad.

What went wrong

The Owner Super Mutu hook is a KIRBED halo catch. The rig used was not one of ours. It essential have been left-hand on the boat by a foregoing plotter and in the active term of enticement catching, my deckie grabbed the most basic set rig in the box and vigorously lateen up a skipjack to get a lure out at hand expedited.

I didn't check the rig.

"In my small opinion"

Never use a kirbed loop catch for spearfish fishing. It will gut hook fair as recovered as a J catch and to product matters worse, you retributive dropped it aft ensuring you gut catch. You will virtually no problem put to death the marlin.

Check everything twice over up to that time you set a smudge. Even if you are in a hurry. It conscionable mightiness release you from a bad day.
