As much as I’d like a replica mount of a striped marlin, our little house just won’t support it. Accordingly, I’ve let my mind drift to the idea of a striped marlin painting. It doesn’t necessarily fix our problem of not having much wall space to spare, but it still allows me to daydream in advance of the real deal.

As we’ve gotten more involved with offshore fishing, we’ve learned of the power of bait balls. Species including sailfish and yellowfin tuna herd up various forage species and then strategically feast upon them until they’re full. Plenty of clothing manufacturers give you a way to wear that obsession.
