Yeah beccajean a catch an release a Marlin was on my bucket list, til I realized he probably weight double my size & if grown men take hours to land them, I figure I'd not have a snowballs chance, LOL! I've seen videos where they "spear" boats, and just saw a video where the fish actually jumped in the boat and speared a teenager thru the throat, WOW! So I decided I'd revise that to just "see an actual Marlin" on my bucket list, LOL! When I was a kid we caught a lot of catfish for dinner, sometimes bass. Deep sea fishing we did for fun just to see what all was "out there". I particularly liked the "flying fish", to a kid especially, that was the coolest thing ever
