LOVE IT @Julez1958. What a great story!! Shame you didn't get to 'touch the leader' - that is considered 'landing it' .... as most are just tagged & released these days, anyway! I will definitely go out for a fish - another yak buddy was over there when one of the fishing magazines was doing a story on LH fishing .... and she ended up with a pic in the magazine with a whopper kingfish!!
A buddy of mine (who has Stage 4 prostate - diagnosed same week as my BC) is STILL going out in his kayak, hunting marlin up at South West Rocks .... and has landed way more than 50 marlin/Sailfish (Before he started chemo, he landed 5 in just one day too!!) He is acknowledged as the Marlin Master of Kayak Fishos!! He is a real legend & a lovely guy. Normally I'd be up there this weekend for the SWR Triathlon (hubby, not me) but he hasn't been 'up to it' for a few years ... and normally our Yak Fishing Group would stay on for a week of fishing mayhem afterwards!!! All good fun. I hope to get back THERE too, one day!
