“The first 10 minutes were tiring, my arms were sore, I was ready to give up but my mom was yelling ‘Don’t give up, keep reeling it in,'” Martinez said. “The fish started to jump out of the water, you could see it and they were like so excited because it was huge. I was like it’s just a fish, there’s nothing special about it, at least that’s what I thought.”
