On 22 March 2021 I paddled out on my kayak to do something which I thought was almost impossible, but somehow after many hours on the water I became the third person in New Zealand to capture a marlin from a kayak, and the first person in New Zealand to land a marlin caught from a kayak and officially weigh and record the catch.
The striped marlin took just under 3 hours to reel in and it weighed .
