Louisiana fishing charter
| Capt. Lance Walker | Baton Rouge, LA USA |
| Had the chance to take out Thomas Krafft and friends Saturday for the trip of a life time. The day started out a little slow when bait was scarce. We stopped at several places but live bait was not around. We kept on going with seas building, nothing the 38ft Bertram could not handle confortably. When we arrived to our destination two lines were dropped and we started chumming. We only raised two sharks around 100lbs. Plans changed an we started pulling baits. The first pass by the rig and it was on the rest of the day. After putting 3 yellowfin in the boat and one rainbow runner, we had four lines get nocked down. Three customers grabbed rods and one would not quit running. We had 2 yellowfin on 1 blackfin and a white marlin. After the marlin spit the hook we had 4 lines tangled. My first mate Jeremy Powers quickly got to work and some how managed to help everybody land all three tuna. One line cut and out I sent a new bait. We ended up catching 5 more yellowfin when we were reeling in the last blackfin and it all happened. I told the customer to stop reeling the line and Jeremy quickly grabbed the rod to throw it in freespool. I could see about a 300+ # marlin chasing the fish. Right as he started taking the drag out the lady in blue jumped and sure enough our line was hanging out of its mouth. After an hour and a half six first time offshore fishman had taged and released there first blue marlin. These guys did a great job with the fish, but we could not have done it without Jeremy.
