Blue Marlin Hilo, Hawaii

Capt. Paul Andrade and his crew on the LIBERTY DREAMS left Hilo in search of big tuna. Thirty miles from shore, they took a powerful strike on one of their lures and found themselves hooked to a monster marlin. Crewmen Chante Ching, Gilbert Abalos and Levi Boteilho worked seamlessly to battle the giant to the boat using a Penn 130ST reel and 130-lb test line.

Blue Marlin Bermuda

Capt. Bull Tolson and Caitlin Peele on Sea Toy weighed a 1,011 lbs. Blue Marlin. Angler was Dan Stephano. The fish had a 137″ Short Measurement and a 76” Girth Measurement. This is Capt. Tolson’s first weighed Grander. This is a significant fish for Bermuda as well. The last weighed Grander Blue Marlin (Seafari) was in 2012 and the last released Grander Blue Marlin was in 2013 (Challenger). This has also been a very interesting period of time in Big Game Fishing. In Granders alone, this is the 4th Grander in 6-Days, with Hawaii adding two (2), Cape Verdes with one (1) and now Bermuda with one (1).
