"Our good Friends Bud & Marylin were the stars today," noted Intrepid skipper Kevin Osborne in Panama March 12. "Marylin, who has caught many Tuna over 200 pounds, and one over 300 here on the Intrepid wanted to catch a Marlin, something she had never done. In the afternoon Capt. Luis on the Star VIII took them out to look again, as they had spent all the day before trying with no luck. Very near the big boat they put out some jigs and a Big Blue came up chasing very aggressively, Luis slid back a live Caballito and the Marlin ate it instantly, the show was on! This fish really gave us all a great show, jumping close enough for the whole battle to be witnessed from the big boat. After an hour and a half they had the Marlin at leader, a very nice 400 pounder with great color, was then released and swam away very strong. What a great job Capt. Luis did with his boat and the experience of fighting giants like this really showed.

"Inshore, we had a fun day catching Grouper, Bluefin Trevally, snappers, and some very colorful exotics. The Tuna were out there once again, but still reluctant to bite. When they decide to bite it will be fun, as there were multiple schools showing up today."
