On our passage from martinique to dominica we hooked a 5 foot MARLIN!
It was a little bit bigger than me. We will show a video and a close picture of
the marlin right next to our boat. So the story is that we were in 20-27 knot
winds and 10 foot swells. There we were when we heard our fishing line go
and my dad sprang into action. My mom got really worried and tried so hard
to keep it all in, but some of it got out. Anna was doing something I forgot what.
I was taking pictures and video's in the middle of all this. At the end the marlin broke our fishing pole - so we didn't get it on board. Later in the day we saw a big pod of dolphins and plus, the clouds were pretty because of the sun.
Then we anchored at 8:00 in darkness. We had to use are spot light to look around.
After that we went to bed.
