Luconia Part 3 - Amazing hookups

Popping on this trip did not yield much positive results. There were 2 occasions on this trip where popping, somehow produced 2 `amazing hookups`. The first one being Danny casting at the hull of the boat, somehow, a Marlin estimated to weigh in the region of 50kg jumped out of the waters and dived back into it carrying the popper along with it. The fight lasted for a good 20 minutes until the leader gave way.

The 2nd occasion happend when Patrick was popping alone on the top deck in the early hours of the morning. Out of a sudden, the jiggers on the deck heard his yell for help to get his rod down to the back as he had hooked up a big one. After a 10 minute tussle, the 45kg dogtooth tuna was finally landed, with a yellowfn stucked in its throat which took the popper ! Checkout the series of pictures below for better elaboration.
