I got an invite to fish on the Special Kate, it was going to be nice, and the dolphin bite is decent. Then, nope, it’s not going to be nice. Then, “I don’t think it will kill us, let’s go”. It was a bit nautical, and it did not kill us. First bite was not a dolphin. It turned out to be a blue marlin. We did pick up a gaffer dolphin then Hunter wanted a snowy grouper. Quick stop resulted in a couple of tiles and Hunter’s snowy. Back on the troll, we worked north where some tuna were being caught. Our next bite turned into another blue marlin. We released our second blue marlin of the day. We did get a tuna bite but pulled the hook on our one shot.<\/p>\n
