Chuck and the Good Doctors topped all of their great performances to-date with a fanstastic pair of Marlin releases backed up by a big Sailfish release. Most anglers spend their whole lives trying to best a big Pacific Marlin, so to see these fellas capture two on a single trip is truly and accomplishment.

The first Marlin came in just before noon and was a deep-water brawler; not a lot of jumps and surface action but a lot of brute strength about 40 feet under the water.

The second Marlin wasn’t far behind, with a safe release reported just after 1pm. Another amazing fish!

For the victory lap the fellas hooked up a wonderful Sailfish and before too long the third trophy fish of the day was released.
