Catch of the Day - Striped Marlin

Hearing two taps on the trolling line, Peter started winding it in to check the lure, when a big fish followed the lure to the back of the boat.  We were sailing at 7 knots but this fish effortlessly leapt up and grabbed the lure.  Thinking it was our ever elusive Spanish Mackerel, as it was fighting hard, he wound it up to the back step, only to discover a Striped Marlin.  The fish looked at us and did another big leap and took off.
