3000 lb line
that vid rocked
He cast the fly therefore he is flyfishing. I can understand if he just payed out his fly line while they were moving but he actually cast the fly. It doesn’t matter if he is trolling his fly (don’t blame him doing hand over hand stripping for saltwater would wear you out before you even had to fight the marlin
)
What an acomplishment. You know only a handfull of people have landed a marlin on a fly rod
Good video hell of a challenge
what weight rod is that mate?? cheers
are you serious
Marlins are like the Scarlet Johansons or some other hot celeb/model of the sea
Put a marlin back :’( Marlin are edible
By that standard anyone who doesn’t use an IGFA compliant leader isn’t fly fishing either.
Oh no! I tied my shock tippet too long! I guess I’d have been just as well off using a massive Penn reel! Please.
I am a Avid Bill Fisher and Trout fly fisherman! And Also a Captain off Miami Beach,And I have to say this Looks insane!LOL Really neat catching Marlin on a fly rod!LOL WOW! Good Job!
If youre going for a IGFA record then yes it is not fly fishing. Only IGFA requires that the boat is out of gear when the cast is made. If we all followed those rules when we fished then there would not be much catching. Basically he used a fly rod with a real Fly and presented that fly to the fish. That is fly fishing.
fly fishing is using a fly rod and fly by whatever means , period. Those guys catch the fish that jealous bastards dream about, good work and best wishes to flies and fins , my inspiration been fly fishing for three months now and catching more fish than I can handle!
Shut the **** up you old fart, it’s fly fishing. Whatever happened to seeing the fun side of fishing? I think your jealous
Hey – you guys heard of Shilton reels. I just bought one of those.
Just an incredible job on closing the deal and bringing the beast to hand only wish i was with you brother..Alex
true. that’s not fly fishing. any ole newbie can troll with a fly rod!
This guy isnt fly fishing he is trolling with a fly rod!!! That is NOT fly fishing. The boat must be out of gear in order for the catch to be considered a fly catch!
nice work with fly rod and camera..
