Boray's Lure

I just sailed over the top of a sea mount, 970 metres below me. It rises from a sea bed nearly 5000 metres so it's more than just a hill. We always think such a spot will be fishy, but it hasn't seemed to be so, until today. I haven't wanted to use the beautiful lure Boray gave me, it's too easy to lose gear out here, but I put it in to bring me luck now I'm alone. I know I said I wasn't going to use reels any more, but being alone it's hard to watch the lines all the time and using a reel, at least there is a sound to let you know there's a fish. So was there a sound. Yes. In very short order the marlin that took Boray's lure, boat speed only 2.5 knots I should add, had stripped all the line and was away. He was certainly bigger than me, it's hard to tell with something you've never seen before and all over so quickly, but he did all the proper marlin things, leaping out of the water and thrashing around. It was an amazing sight, probably worth losing the lure. If only there was a lure that wouldn't attract the big fish!!!
