David Lukof locked into a battle with a super 300+lbs. Marlin on the unbeatable Explorer. Take a look at this monster:
According to our buddy Jeff (who was filming): “Dude had heat stroke after this. He’s been chasing a marlin for 30 years. He said ‘I’d fight it till I died’ he might have actually been close!”
Amazing catch and release by the superstar Captain David and Mate Carlos!
David Lukof and his family come from the hills of Pennsylvania and are the most recent in a long line of Northeast anglers who have experienced amazing success on our stretch of ocean. Things got started quickly with lots of early Bonita catches.
The highlight of the trip was certainly this monster Broomtail Grouper conservatively estimated to weigh a 45lbs. Look at the girth on this fella:
First Mate Alex is one of the strongest men I know when it comes to fish-handling (see Double Sailfish releases) and Mr. Lukof ain’t no little guy either; clearly this fish was more than a handful!
David Lukof has more trips planned on the Wanderer and will also try his hand at extreme panga fishing with the Explorer and Adventurer later this month and in early March. Stay tuned!
