Keeping things random here with pictures from several years ago off the coast of Malaysia. Friends Angel and her boss Thomas from Navigators Singapore invited me for a once in a lifetime fishing adventure. Leaving Singapore at 5pm we arrived 5 hours later in the port town of Mersing for an grueling overnight trip to some islands 40 or so kilometers from shore. The seas were rough and rolled us all night, making sleep all but impossible. The following 2 1/2 days however more than made up for it with gorgeous scenery on the islands and unbeatable fishing. Among the notable fish that we caught (aside from these tuna pictured below) were maihihi, red snapper, cod and a juvenile marlin that weighed about 35 pounds.
