Short day and big fish

Yesterday we took a day off because the weather was really bad, but today we wanted to fish again. First we planed to go to Azores bank but on the way there the sea was really rough and we decided to fish in a protected area close to the airport. Just 20 minutes after we put the lures in the water we got a blue marlin bite. On the first run the fish went in the dacron and left the protected area. That made it very difficult for us to fight the fish but finally after 2 hours fight we could get the leader. The fish was around 850lb and after that we decided to go back to the marina. The sea was still very rough and it had been very difficult to fight another fish because it was again just me and Lukas on the boat fishing.
