    That is one thing I have never had a chance to have a scrap with on a rod and reel and that is a marlin and a tuna and those two fish are on my bucket list to get in to a scrap with when I get an opportunity to do so.

    I will never forget the day we got our first Marlin. I was holding onto the mainline with about 15m out and a frisky little skippy attached.
    I said to my mate (who had caught plenty up north) "how do I know when its getting eaten"?
    He said "you'll fuckin know alright"!!
    About 10 mins later the skippy on the end of my line was getting super agitated and then this bill and head and fish come flying out of the water and swallowed it whole, ripping the line out of my hands then taking line like a maniac.
    My mate was up so he jumped in the chair and 55 mins later we had tagged and released our first Strippey!!
    Buzzy as!
    I myself am yet to get a marlin but have been skipper for a couple and present on many close but no cigars.
    Nothing comes close to the mayhem that goes on ha ha ha!

    Scampi used to trawl for them from barrier to the mayor sometime to motiti that link will help you we used to get them from 250m to 450m along with a lot of other fish like Ling. Sauri i think is what you see is basicly a prawn i think.

    In Australia My buddy and I used to target 'Bonito' as we called them. I believe the jack mackerel is one and the same isn't it? Anyway we bled them like a sambo and ate them fresh. If I remember rightly they have few bones and ended up tasting firm and chicken like. Lots of the tuna's do I reckon. Even kingies

    We were forever winging the bonito to try to get the never present marlin to show up. Lucky we weren't visited by 'jaws' more often
