| | Pamela's Pistol Pete and Rookie Ross |
 | | I told Ross that many people gauge their fishing careers by their first experience, and further tried to explain to him that Blue Marlin fishing is about patience, understanding, the hunt, fishing with good people, and more patience. |
 | | Somehow, perhaps miraculously, Ross managed to get the lash out of the reel as the Marlin kept swimming slowly, and when we felt the hookup was solid, we urged Ross to move the drag setting to "strike" and Pete hit the throttles to set the hook. |
 | | Ross, now on his second Blue Marlin in as many days not bad for a first timer had literally overnight developed the confidence to reel in his fish with some authority, and his technique was vastly improved. |
