Just wanted to say congrats to Doc Conkle for catching and releasing a grander black marlin in Australia this past week. Took him 17 minutes to get it boat side. Captain asked if he wanted to kill the fish and he said let her go! They compared pictures to a recently caught 1100 pound black that was killed and he said it kept up with that fish. Caught on a 130 with 45 pounds of drag and ate a scad mackerel. Not many people can say they have even seen a fish that big let alone caught one.... Congrats Doc!

Way to Go Doc, a well deserved fish for one of our premier sportfishermen...did he take the G&S over to Australia? Dreamin On is over there at the moment.
