Rob Branson from Seattle, Washington State hit the jackpot today. We had a last minute cancellation yesterday, and Rob called late last night to book HighNoon for a full day charter. Rob scored big time when a huge 400 lb Blue Marlin hit the long corner lure, came off and then went after the short rigger lure. This time it hooked solidly and took off 600 yards of line jumped and throwing white water everwhere. After a 40 minute struggle, Rob got the fish to the boat where Captain Dave brought it aboard as it was tail wrapped and would not have survived. Pictures to follow for the weigh station in Kona, Hawaii
