Kadavu Marlin Bash, fishing aboard Wai Tardra out of Kadavu Island. Six days of fishing deep waters, chasing elusive and powerful Blue Marlin.

Then around 2.15 PM with Chris on strike a solid blue marlin of around 125kg smacks the long rigger and mayhem ensued. The fish charged straight at the boat and tried hard to impale us on its bill before charging past the side of the boat jumping frenetically the whole time. After a 20 minute battle on 37kg stand-up gear, the fish was subdued and brought alongside the boat for a tag and photo op.
