Who is the Furioso

[BuenaVista Sportfishing Lodge]

Giatemala March 13th 2010

Today I joined Jeff Ciuba and Kent Lipton, we went 45 miles west on the Furioso run by Captain Chino (Rossman Fajardo ) and mate Danilo Fajardo, we left the duck at 07.30 am and got to The fishing spot around 09:45 am our 1rst. Sailfish came 15 minutes later and it was hooked by Jeff.
We had a total of 09 sailfish Raised and bites and 07 releases, we also had 02 double bites but in one of this double bite on line cut the other, so we lost the fish.

At 02:00 pm when we were getting ready to head back Capt Chino saw a Marlin jumping and all of us said Lets go for it, and so we did, the marlin ate a little bite of bit on one hook and we lost it but just 1 minute after he went and ate the whole sierra mackarel, it was on Kent´s tackle.

After Kent fighting with the marling for about 1 hour the Marlin wanted to show us who was the FURIOSO (FURIOUS) Jeff was sit on the left side of the boat close to the motor and the marlin jumped over the motors way, and jumped in the boat breaking the back of a bench and also making with the bill on Jeff´s bally a small scrape. As he jumped in Jeff jumped out backward.

Jeff is the faster man I have never seen jumping to the water.
The marlin hard hurt itself when breaking the bench on the way in to the boat and we did not have another option that bringing it to the lodge.

This was excellent day; we had to run for around 2 hours, the water was blue, no wind, no big waves.

Hate that the marlin died, but good to know that nobody got hurt. Good to hear and see more marlin in Guatemala.
