Hal Westbrook (foreground) moments before releasing his first ever blue marlin. We had ran thirty miles to Tsunami buoy that day with nothing to show for it but luck happened to be on Hal’s side. While high speed trolling home from the buoy at a brisk fourteen knots this large blue crashed our short Polukai jet. After a quick battle we released her to fight another day.
