"As it jumped up," he remembers, "I looked at it and thought,
'that's a winner.' I had crazy thoughts that no one would
believe this- me hooking the winner in the last hour of the
last day of fishing." And then he had an even crazier thought.
"I thought, 'White marlin, you've been good to me,'" Jim
Motsko says. "And I let him go. In my heart, I knew it was a
big fish, probably a winner. But I wasn't going to kill the fish.
White marlin have been too good to me." -the Baltimore Sun
I had told the wife, "no surprises, no party." Did she listen? F#*k no! Never wanna lose her, lemme tell ya! Had the WMO goin' on. She brought in just about all the family...kids, grandkids, Corcoran's. Weather was back and forth during the week, between rain and sun. But still put in water time. Tubin'. Boatin'. Surfin'. And plenty of eatin' out and at home. Chicken, brats, burgers, beer, and yes...steamed crabs! Not a bad start to hittin' sixty.
