Rasdhoo Dhonbege Mohamed catches a whopping 152-kilo marlin on solo fishing trip

Mohamed Abdul Ghafoor from AA. Rasdhoo, better known locally as Dhonbege Mohamed, has caught a whopping 152 kilo marlin while on a solo fishing trip.

55-year-old Mohamed told Sun that he had been out on a dinghy boat to catch Wahoo on Monday night when he came upon the marlin.

It wasn’t the first time the marlin got caught in his hook. But the large fish managed to escape every time.

He did not have much hope it would be any different this time.

“I did not have much hope that I would be able to actually catch it when it got caught in the hook. The particular marlin lives in that area. It got caught in my hook some two three times before. But it cut loose every time,” he said.

The marlin was about the same size as the dinghy he was traveling on. He managed to get it on the boat with the help of a group of other people who were traveling by.

Mohamed said that while commercial yellowfin tuna fishing boats catch marlin of the size, it is the first time for such a large marlin to be caught by someone traveling alone on a dinghy.

Mohamed, who regularly goes out to catch Wahoo, says he has also caught a 25-kilo Wahoo in the past.
