Rare Tagging Moment After Blue Marlin Pulls Hook in the Dominican Republic

Things don’t always go as planned and even after this blue marlin came unglued on the leader, Eight Eights Capt. Mark Pagano wasn’t ready to give up on the tag. The fish remained on the surface for a brief moment where first mate Kyle O’Conner was given the opportunity to tag the free-swimmer. With angler Jill Yates and Michelle Keeney wiring the fish.

The video was taken on the 72′ Viking Eight Eights in the Dominican Republic.
