Thanks for sharing these pictures Ryan. At that rate you'll be emptying the pond in no time....someone seems very pleased with the catch. Those rainbow trout sure look like they are in pristine condition.

Grandpa just stocked the pond with about 75 trout in the 2lb range just for grandson. That was about 5 fish caught in less than 10 mins

Oh yeah Joe he had a blast. These fish really are beautiful. This is the first time my dad had viewed the fish since dumping them down the chute since bringing them home from the hatchery. He was pretty impressed with the size and quality.
Oh and they tasted delicious too lol

Today was about 15 fish in less than an hour. Such a blast for the little guy. Now he doesn't want to keep his hands off the fish lol4272017121914.jpg4272017121924.jpg

What have l done?!!
I recently introduced my wife Rita to marlin fishing while holidaying in Kona Hawaii.
Rita caught and released her very first marlin, an estimated 150lb Pacific Blue Marlin, and did a great job staying calm and keeping the line tight, while the deckie, skipper, and myself were barking instructions at her.
She really enjoyed the experience, especially while the marlin was jumping at the back of the boat, and also at the time of release to see it swim off in good condition.
She's now asking me if she can join me on my next marlin fishing trip

Now that's different.
I once saw a clip where they did something like that in Japan i think.....the only thing l didn't like is that they hooked up the marlin with a very large floating barrel attached to the hand line which restricted the marlin from diving deep, and they chased it around with the boat. Not very sporting in my opinion, but each to their own.

It's nice to see you and Rita enjoying the same hobby ,it's all about family ritual and bonding ,i don't know any thing about fishing but even in my eyes that is a big fish ,enjoy yourself in Hawaii and i see you when you comeback .
BTW you are lucky there with the weather ,it's 1 c in Melbourne this morning ,see you soon .

That would be very challenging, and definitely a fair battle between man and fish.
Thats great Al. Would be awesome if you had pictures to share. I'm guessing that it may have been a blue marlin, or even a striped marlin that are commonly caught in that area.
Thanks Sayid. She now understands why i love this sport so much....Now i just need to get her hooked on Discus keeping, and help with the maintenance
We have been back in Melbourne for awhile now, and like you enjoying the 1 degree mornings, but i'm already looking at my next marlin trip up in North Queensland to fish the Black Marlin Classic from Lizard Island.
