Most fishermen would be happy to take home this Spanish Mackeral, but here on the GBR we believe in trading up...

This fella will be a skip bait which will hopefully entice a really big black marlin - something around the 1,100lb mark like the fish Daniel Spencer caught on a similar sized bait last year (see

Not a bad trade if we can do it!
