This Story takes place in my home Town , we have some of the Best Fishing on the East Coast . This Story comes from a few years back during The Big Rock Blue Marlin Contest . A boat called the Trophy Box , I think she hailed out of Marland ( somebody correct me if you know where the boat is from better than I can recall) The boat had hooked a BIGGG Fish and brought it to it stern, probably took hours , the Big Boys don't give up Easy , anyway , they got him to the stern, the fish was tired , worn out so you would think , (its funny the black look in their eye when their that close) the mate some how got his hand tangled in the wire leader trying to get the monster close enough to sink the gaff , the fish caught his second wind and drug the mate overboard , snapping the line and taking the mate somewhere into the deopths of the ocean never to be found again. The Big Rock is offshore of our Coast about 47miles , the Ocean floor drops off from 300 ft. to around a thousand fathoms , its where the Gulf Stream is and The Big Boys hang out . Life vs Death the fish would have been dead at the hands of man , but in the Blinking of an Eye he turned the Tide and the Man that would have taken his Life became the Foe . Thanks for Readn!
