Well this is going to be a quick summarized report as I'm still getting all the details(I had something to do and did not go ).My brother Robert and his two friends and a borrowed Captain took the Bow Down south on Saturday morning and headed straight to the Nakika . They fished all around the Nakika never loosing site of it and ended up catching 3 YF ...one 70# and two 35#, a ton of Blackfin and kept around 8-10, two Dolphin a 50# and a 25# , and then to make it even better tagged and released an estimate 400# Blue Marlin( also it was the angler first and it was caught on a 50wide stand up gear).I have some of the pics now and will post more including the blue when I get them. About the water it was cobalt blue @ nakika and there was scattered grass north of it but no weed lines.(sorry thats all I could get out of them they were a little tired). 
____________________________________________________________ the tuna with Nakika all lit up in the background(I love this picture) 
___________________________________________________________________________ Here is the blue....................hooked up 
___________________________________________________________________________ still hooked up............... 
___________________________________________________________________________ starting to wonder why he grabbed the rod 
___________________________________________________________________________ thinking this isn't a good position to be in 
___________________________________________________________________________ and here she is............... 
and here is the wore out angler Mike Brown 
It was his first blue and yes he took a Chico bath(sorry no pics of that).
