Report from the MV Marabell

MV Marabell - July 29, 2003

The entire MV Marabell crew is green with envy. Who wouldn't be. Some of the crew have been working at Langara Island for years, diligently searching for that master angler Chinook of fifty pounds or more. So what does first year MV Marabell chef Ben Slee do? Calmly goes out and lands a 66 pounder like it's child's play. How did the Australian cook feel about landing the fourth largest fish ever weighed in at the resort? "Ah, too right, it's a ripper," was his reply.

Since catching the fish he has yet to remove his official OBMG master fisherman hat.
