One of our members, Mark Stotebury, made this great capture recently. It's stunning fish to get on a jig. I'm posting for him because he can't figure out to post photos!     

Mark, fill us in on the detail - estimated weight, where captured, equipment used etc

a super effort on this one, Mark. You're using the heaviest Blue Rose of all!

Awesome Mark - are you able to tell us more about your adventures in that part of the world? I remember you mentioning that you've spent some time around the islands and atolls off Africa - would be cool to hear more.
