White Marlin 8/23/13

We went marlin fishing yesterday. The bite out of Virginia is very good right now. The good news is that the boat ran great, it was a gorgeous day on the water, and we caught 2 white marlin. The bad news is that we caught 2 white marlin. We did not have our “A” game (or B Game) on. We had a couple of others jumping and we just plain missed the rest. The good boats around us caught 8. The top boat caught 13. We did get to watch a whole bunch of beautiful boats going in reverse all day. For the Virginia Beach Billfish Tournament that is finishing up today, the total releases for the first 2 days of fishing is 464 billfish (10 blue marlin, 7 sailfish, and a whole bunch of whites). That is with 69 boats in the tournament. Most have fished their 2 days but some are fishing today. The previous high for the tournament is a total 194 billfish.
