Tremendous achievement! Especially when you bear in mind that Olaf's only recently arrived. It can be a bit of 'a needle in a haystack' search with just the one game boat, Harmattan, there. (Don't know whether that 57' US boat has elected to fish there this season.)

And when you think there is just Harmattan fishing Ascension, quite an achievement.

Glad to see that the angler in question, Phil Riley, released that 1100 pounder. Traditionally Phil, one of our Club members, spends a week's fishing on Harmattan around his birthday. That was other than two years ago (2010) when he kindly gave up that week to Andy Little, a consultant of Fox Tackle, who 'creamed' matters with Blues up to 900. Great to see Phil went slightly better .... read on.

Quoted

Here's what Olaf had to say about this fish.

“After a couple of quiet days we did inshore fishing for a couple of hours and went marlinfishing at noon. It was very quiet until 3.30 when a very big fish eat the Bonze Mongrel Dog. At first she didn´t take any line but as she felt pressure she started racing off. Unfortunately she didn´t do that on the surface so it was very difficult to keep up with her. After two minutes of hard backing down over the corner we had 800 yards of line out and I was getting very worried. The angle of the line came up a bit and I had to take the chance to turn the boat. Phil Riley finally gained slowly on her. After 1 hour Colin got the leader”

Grander ?

Ich frage mich, seit wann es eigentlich ungewogene Grander gibt ?

Ein Grander ist per Definition ein 4 Figuren Fisch an der WAGGE !!
Alles andere ist für mich Mickey Maus oder Gebrüder Grimm.

Beste Grüße
Reinhold

Weißt du Reinhold apropos Mickey Maus

für dich gibts auch Black MArlin vor Portugal , und geographisch liegts im Südatlantik ........................ Du sagtest ja ...Wikipedia Main article Blackmarlin einzelne gesichtet Südatlantik !

Also wie man sieht kanst auch du gut Googeln und hasts echt dicke mit den Gebrüder Grimm ! ;)

http://www.marlinmag.com/techniques/guess-weight
Auf Google Chrome gibts einen automatischen Englischübersetzer .......... danach weist du dann auch wie man einen Grander nicht wiegt !
