4th July 2010 - Blue Marlin World Cup - won by Berno Neibuhr and angler Chris Brand from Cape Verde - 1097lbs

Well just checked on - http://www.bluemarlinworldcup.com/RealTime_Results/index.php - the results page for the Blue Marlin World Cup. As of 19:00 hours, when all the European venue results should have been posted, Berno Neibuhr on the Happy Hooker from Mindelo, Cape Verde is leading the tournament with a 'grander', a fish of 1,097 lbs caught at 11:45 this morning. Who's the angler .... not unfortunately mentioned!

I know boats from Bermuda and the East coast of the 'States are still competing and then there's Hawaii to consider so Berno and his angler are obviously on tenderhooks. But if they win it will add to Berno's earlier success in the tournament in 2006 with Jonathan Brand.

Well Done Berno, and well done Chris! That was a tremendous achievement - not just the size of the fish but also winning the tournament a second time in just four years.

Hey, thanks so much everybody !!! vielen dank an alle !!!

that have been very scary hours for us with of course tons of beers and everybody involved in fishing here around us to wait until the final minute when boats at hawaii stopped fishing !!

guess chris and me wrote history, hard to beat ! nobody ever done it before in 26 years of 4th july world championship to win twice with the same team and same boat.
Thanks old "HAPPY HOOKER" !!

and let me send a big THANKS to my local crew; TONI, my old boy who stays with us for 12 years as mate allready and TUTU, who worked with me first time this year. both have done a more than perfect job yesterday ! TONI never dropped the leader, even when that fish jumped, all on video ! and TUTU setting the gaffs as a professional !! it could not have been better done, both are worldclass crew !!!!!

Hi Berno,

first my congratulations to your fish and of course winning the Blue Marlin Worldcup (again) :thumbup: At the moment I´m in Madeira and I took part at the cup too (of course without chance against such a fish! ;)

Well, thumbs up and do it again next year.



My best wishes and congratulations from Madeira,

Angolan teams very slow

just for the record:

Three of our teams fished out of Luanda and two teams found their way down South to the famed Benguela Gulf off Lobito... .
Dead slow. Only one boat ("Blue Sniffer"; Cpt Cam Nicolson) had any catch at all... but merely Wahoo. Marlin: Zero Zero.

Obs.: The Nicolson Team found their Wahoo 30 miles out off Luanda around a longliner marker buoy with sat beacon... .

Consider the water was in the mid 70's, the absense of any Marlin indicates what? ... might just have to do with the buoys?

Once again: Berno and your angler and crew, fantastic feat and hard to beat!!

Hi Berno
That quote was posted by one of the Mexican contributors and, I suspect due to a database error, associated with this thread. If you look at that poster's original thread there's a title but no content. I'll pass the references on to Uwe he got back from Madeira yesterday evening.

Thanks Berno. It shows what a small world the world of Big Game angling is, I think I met with Manolo some years ago at Tropic Star Lodge in Panama. If I've got it right he was a surgeon by profession and his friend, whose name escapes me, owned the marina at Pasito Blanco.

yep, you're right on that.
his friends name is xavier, and he runs the 54 footer bertram "opa locka", as long as he didn't buy a new boat by now. both are really good guys, as well as all their friends from the canaries. i fished for so many years in the canary island and was happy enough to meet all of them and enjoyed spending plenty of good times with them. i remember when the fishermans ceremonial was partied at mogan harbour, i moored alongside 54' "opa locka" with 33' "happy hooker", looked like father and son, hahahahhaha.
