Sea of cortez, East Cape-Fantacies do come true!

[vseasport]

This morning we hooked a marlin at 7:30. While La Rissa Travers battled her first marlin, my VHF radios were going crazy. It was enough to make me crazy. Dorado under serggaso grass, tuna on spotted dolphin, marlin feeding, it sounded like the whole Sea of Cortez had just erupted. The action never stopped and at the end of the day most boats returned to the dock flying outriggers full of flags.

Oh, I forgot to mention it was La Rissa's life long fantasy to catch a marlin.

I thought she was putting me on until I found out she actually named her third son Marlin

Dreams do come true. Not only was the marlin huge, it was a huge moment for La Rissa.

Sarggaso grass. Little patches like this are loaded with dorado.

This bad boy got hooked in the tail by our Halco GT jig. We have hooked several marlin on Halco GT jigs. This was the first one in the tail.
