At 14:30 two other contacts, which one remains hanged, it arrives 5 meters to the boat and sets out again to take 200 meters line, a little obstinate, still 15 minutes it returns along the edge, it was released later, estimated 200 kilos.

A little wind we go to the South at Sao Pedro, towards 9:00 the first contact, at 10:00 the first fish, 40 minutes fight, the customer was sprinkled, but happy. At 12:30, a big marlin on 80lbs fishing rod, it will be longer, the fish jumps about 300 to 400 meters and it continues taking line, at least 700 meters.
Now the fish cool down and Jean Marc starts to take the line, but it is hard. He is sweating. It was almost one hour fight; the fish is close about 100 meters. Fortunately it remains on the surface and finally it is at the boat, approximately 350 kilos, after 1: 10 fight.

Three Russian customers, young guys. We go to North, there’s no wind. At 10:05 a marlin, it probes, it takes 500 meters of line, we did not see it, it did not jump, and we just felt the attack. About 40 minutes later it arrives at the boat (160 kilos) tired, the customer tired also.
At 14: 00 a contact ......... 14:20 another departure, this time it holds, it took the 80lbs line, it takes line again, but it is calmed after 300 meters, it returns easily to the boat, it is not a big one, 140 kilos.
March 19
We set out again to the South, at 9:05 a contact, the fish is hanged, it jumps, it jumps, it takes line, it probes now, approximately 500 meters line out, the fisherman can do nothing. The line still slips by, about 600 meters, the line is now on the vertical position, it stops, the fisherman starts taking line, and it is not easy to fish. The line is always on the vertical, but it goes up gently, still 300 meters, now 200 meters, the line becomes soft, the fisherman goes up the line and it was taken down, the lure is there. The customer is disappointed nevertheless 50 minutes fight for nothing. At 12:20 a marlin of approximately 200 kilos fished and released.
