Exmouth Fly Fishing
When a father names his son Marlin, it's pretty obvious that he's dedicated his entire life to fishing.
14 year old Marlin Wakeman had never seen a marlin until yesterday when his father managed to land his first black marlin on fly. Well today after three strikes of the teaser, young Marlin met the fish that he was named after.
Bear in mind that this kid has already caught two sailfish in the last week and today he learned the difference between a sail and a black marlin. Marlin battled with his namesake for an hour and a half with an aching back, cramping arms and a fish that just wouldn't give up, but neither did he and eventually we landed the fish
A truly honourable experience for me to be a part of today where a young boy stepped onto my boat this morning, met his match and succeeded in his efforts … and stepped off my boat this afternoon as a young man
