Grand Slam!!!!!

Saturday's fishing was pretty slow for the fleet. We managed to scratch out about 25 dolphin and a tuna. However, Sunday was an unbelivable day aboard "The Hooker". Our group wanted to go marlin fishing so we headed down south about 50 miles where the best bite has been over the last couple of weeks. We began by putting a bunch of dolphin in the box for supper but by 8:00am we were marlin fishing. Around 9:00 a double header of sails came in on the baits and we managed to get one. We set back out and 10 minutes later a 300 pound blue came in and we hooked him on a dink rig. It took a little while to get him but we finally released him. We had a little lull in the action until 12:30 when we hooked up with a white! After a quick fight we released it and our grand slam was complete! Pretty awesome day-I think that's about my 5th one in my life-grand slams don't happen very often. Can't wait to get back out there and try again.
