Back in 1991 while fishing the Innisfail GF Tournament we had hardly put the "Soft-Top" marlin lure in the water when we had a strike and hookup on a Black Marlin. Fishing 6kg line I could hardly put any pressure on the fish but 8 hours later finally boated the black and being close to "finish fishing" time charged back to the weigh in with only minutes to spare.
On weighing - the fish went 239 lbs on 6 kg line and won us the Tournament.
Great day.
