As many of you know, I got married on Oct 10 and spent the next two weeks in Hawaii. While there, I spent one day Marlin fishing out of Kona. I didn't catch my marlin, but I did get hooked up with an approx. 400+lb Blue Marlin. My wife and I were on the bridge with the first mate when I saw the big blue crash the short left rigging and begin dumping a 130!!! It was very exciting but after about 1/2hour, the hooks pulled. Oh well, that's fishing. At least I got some time in the chair.

This is a true story that happened to me this week.
What is it that makes us get up out of a warm house or truck to fish for Speckle Trout on a cold overcast day, for me it is the allure of finding a fish in double digits, along with that first strike on the MirrOlure. The one that is a tic and then comes the "Ker-thump" and the rod is almost pulls out of your hand, rod bent over and the reel drag screams as the sow Trout comes to the top and wallows trying to rid her self...
