Big Fish Stories From Down Under
- Great Barrier Reef from far away.
As you can see he was fishing right on the Great Barrier Reef. The Reef is actually one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. He got to go snorkeling right on it. They fish here because it is a great place to catch black marlin. The biggest one ever caught around this area, the northeastern tip of Australia was 1600 pounds. John actually caught and pulled up on the boat a 350 pound Marlin, that is the biggest you can get into the boat. Then he hooked a 850 pound one that he was able to struggle with for an hour and get it out of the water a few times. They are so big and strong you can’t even get them onto the boat.
He had a wonderful time. The water is just absolutely beautiful. How’s that for a fish story!
