Capt Jay got to play in the pit aboard Capt Frank Papp's fine vessel off the New England coast recently. Fourteen yellowfin to 70lbs, a couple of nice dorados, flat seas and then a decent blue on the 22 Piper dressed in Gay Bob. Nice end to the season.
Madeira opened its grander status on Thursday past, with Capt Anibal onboard the Balancal finding a huge fish for his crew and angler. We know little about the catch other than what Paul Watson of Marlin Online has sent us :
"Today two friends of mine achieved a first in Madeira onboard Balancal. Ian caught his first blue marlin ever and it was estimated at 1000lbs, and Ollie wired it, his first ever grander wiring. Congrats to both. The rest of the fleet saw a fish for Omega (x1) and Our Mary (x1) and Grander lost a fish. Typical, I had the invites to go out and film too !"
What we can say is that the sucessful lure was a white 22 Pro-Range Andromeda in Bermuda colours, a great favourite combination the world over. Hopefully, Anibal has put that lure away in anticipation of the World Cup on July 4th !
KONA, HAWAII, JUNE 6TH :
The luck of the Irish showed up in Kona, HI yesterday when deckhand Ryan had his father Tim came out fishing for the day with Capt Chip Van Mols aboard the Monkey Biz II.
It was getting close to the end of the day when Chip saw the big fish pushing a ton of water on the hand made ice blue jet Ryan saw the same thing from inside the Salon and bolted into the cockpit. The fish piled on the triple skirted jet and the 9/0 single stiff Hays Hook was buried. (stinger)
The fish just stayed in place head shaking and gave the crew time to clear the lines without losing a ton of line. They prepped the gaffs and chip back down quickly on the fish which still never made any radical moves YET.
Once they got closer to the fish and bumped the drag up to 45 lbs. the fish came up creating all kinds of white water, but not going anywhere, finally it started jumping and then turned 45 yards away from the boat and came right at the Monkey Biz II...Chip got on the sticks and barely got out of dodge with the fishes final jump landing no more the 6 feet off the corner of the cockpit.
Again the fish never took off, the crew was ready again and chip backed up hard on the fish Ryan got the leader and they started hitting the fish with its head almost 6 feet down, then things got hairy as one gaff pulled and they barely got a second one back in (three total gaff shots). Again more pressure as the leader parted and now only on gaff kicking up white water the boys managed to finally subdue the fish and then struggle to bring it through the door...
Causually calling it a fat 800 on the way in everyone was still waiting at the scale, BAM 1,064 lbs. Chip's second grander, but first as a captain ! Ryan's first grander as a deckhand!
Ironically Chip still has some openings at the end of July and in August...Let's just say he is "ON FIRE" right now!!!
