Marlin from a yak!!

[obone]

I got this e-mail about a year ago and just found it again. Thought I'd post it up cause I reckon they are some awesome pics.

There was no information in the e-mail so I have no details of names or anything. The bloke is wearing a GT rowing shirt but I don't recognise him (any other GT guys recognise him?). I apologise if it's someone off here and I'm posting your pictures!

Maybe,

my understanding is it was eaten, so it's not really a waste, is it?

[MichaelJ]

if it was eaten theres no problem with it

imo marlin taste pretty good

i hate it when people kill ones not to eat just to be weighed especacially 1000lb marlin

i have herd the same thing..i have herd that juvenile marlin is very tasty

[MichaelJ]

there sposta taste really bad when there big though

[pcsolutionman]

the fish certainly was eaten and spread amungst the group of many yakkers on the trip, the fish was totally spent after such a long fight on such light gear and was unable to be revived

Yeah I reckon it would have been prime size for keeping. I'm sure plenty of people would stick their hand up for fresh marlin fillets!:woohoo: [waves hand frantically in air]
