My 28 year old son was really excited to get me out with him in his new boat, just a 13’ bathtub with an outboard motor really.
I finally had a chance to go fishing one Saturday morning in August 2025, and our plan was to go a few miles out to some buoys and troll for tuna.
But he set up lures on the way out, and just ten minutes into trolling, maybe a mile from shore, we hooked a huge marlin.
Our gear and craft were not really set up to handle this monster, but we worked together, took our time wearing her out, and FOUR HOURS later had the huge fish belly up next to the boat.
The fish had fought until it had literally nothing left, but we won the battle. The fish was nearly as long as the boat, but the two of us were able to haul her into the little boat somehow, with the tail sticking out a back corner and bill poking out the opponent corner.
The fish was 10’3” long and about 6’ around, with an estimated weight up to 700 pounds!
People at the shore gathered around, shocked that two men had caught that giant fish in such a small boat and physically pulled it on board. If we weren’t taking care of ourselves, staying active, and using optimal TRT, it would have been a different story.
Take care of yourself so you can enjoy life for as long as possible, and have amazing stories of your own. I will use testosterone and take care of my health for as long as I feel like loving life.
