1400lb Black - Page 2

The biggest marlin landed in the gulf was a 1054 caught out of Mississippi a few years back. Earlier this year reel peace charters released one that would have probably been bigger then but is definitely bigger now.

When I go to Three Kings Island, NZ next spring, I am interested in only broadbill swordfish, though they catch blue marlin or black marlin and biggest kind striped marlin there.

two nice broadbills

630 lbs broadbill

how big are the swordies, they look like 1000 lbs +

Three Kings is paradise. Huge stripes near 400lbs, big blues, blacks, mondo yellowtail and now I see swordfish. Where do I apply as ksong's assistant? By the way, the boat those guys are on is enormous. Seas are tough there too. Spaced out but steap.

But I guess that is your style j.g.

My wife had a great report for me at dinner tonight. She ran into one of her friends today and was told about their fishing trip to Australia. Four couples spent 7 days fishing off the Great Barrier Reef fishing out of a mothership. They used two sportfishing boats each of the 7 days fishing for black marlin. They caught and released all fish. 6 were in the 900 pound range and the average black caught was around 500 pounds. They caught 21 marlin in the 7 days off the two boats. Women caught zero. Fish and tackle were to much for the women. The women spent most of the time on the mothership as the seas were very rough for a few days.

I know 3 of the guys that went on that trip. I'll try to get some more info and maybe some pics.

I am with you. I know my limitation.
There is absolutely no chance to land a 1400 lbs marlin on a jig.

I'll contend with coral trout or grouper on jigs.
My friend Capt. Mark fished Hudson Canyon today and lost three big bluefin tuna. Two fish were estimated at over 300 lbs judging from the way they fought. The other fish estimated 200 lbs was lost near boatside. He said he caught the fish on a diamond jig. I've waited the whole year to get 200-300 lbs bluefin tuna on jigs and it is time to go.

I am ready to go anytime as soon as I can find a window to get out.
