Team Liquid Courage safely released a Blue Marlin on 30lb tackle off St.Augustine, Florida on Friday.
We started out working the ledge, but the Wahoo bite was slow. We decided to head east for warmer water. It payed off with a nice "Blue" grabbing our black/purple chugger w/ballyhoo in 1500 feet and dumping 500 plus yrds before we go the boat turned. We had a successful release in 1hr15 min.
Captain Brian Watson, Angler Chris Phillips, Release Man Judd Waugh, and Deckhand Andrew Walter.

Nice! That fish is on my bucket list.
The only people that tell you it can't be done are the people who haven't done it themselves.
