Brisbane Marlin

Went for a dive yesterday on my birthday out of my home town Brisbane, Australia.

Got a nice birthday present, 135 kilo Black Marlin.

Dude, you need a bigger cooler (and boat, for that matter).

This has got to be a good story.

I too would like to hear the story and will point out that the time difference between florida and australia might be hindering a full story with the details. Wake UP!!! We're dying to know more!
