Getting strapped into the fighting chair...


Grabbing the bill...

And here's 600 pounds of blue marlin coming into the boat...
I'm not quite sure what I was thinking here...
Time for one quick pic from the bridge (See the blood on my teeth? I bit the hell out of myself while in the chair and I was too wiped out to even notice it)...
Length and girth measured...
And then back into the Atlantic...
Un. Freakin'. Real. I'll actually post words when my brain re-sets and I regain the use of my right arm well enough to type...
Joe Cermele(who took the majority of these photos) is working on getting it all together on a Hook Shots episode over at the F&S website and I'll post a link when it's up.
Big blue! Wow, talk about breaking into saltwater in a really spectacular fashion! Congrats!
