 Back
at ya, with some incredible news. Big big black marlin
is going off at the Bank, this week has produced the
largest fish ever caught in Puerto Vallarta, or all
of Mexico, EVER, Juan Jaime aboard the 65 ocean "Sea
Arrow".
With Capt. Adolfo Sandoval and mate
Victor M. Torres caught the largest black marlin ever
taken or recorded in all of Mexico, this monster taped
in at 1270 lbs. That's right 1270, this fish was measured
by two IGFA weight masters and using the IGFA formula.
It taped in at an incredible 1270 lbs. (taped formula
does not qualify for world records)
This monster was caught with a 655
XXH Calstar rod, a Shimano tiagra 50 lrs. and 80fd lb
isorline. After catching a 7 lb skipjack, it was bridled
and put out. The angler had the Calstar rod in his hands;
the tiagra in free spool with the clicker on, the skippy
got 15 feet off the transom and the marlin came up from
under the boat at the skipjack and jumped clearing the
water at the same time.
The angler and the crew all freaked
out. Capt. Adolfo saw that the marlin had swallowed
the bait deep and knew that baring equipment failure
this fish was coming to the boat. After 1 hour and 20
minutes fight the marlin choked on the bait and came
to the boat weak and beaten. This is by far the largest
fish I have ever personally seen and I will be having
Grays Taxidermy mounting it. And you will be able to
see it inside Masterbaiter's II SportFishing and Tackle
Marina Vallarta.
On the same day, another big black
marlin was caught by another privately owned yacht.
That taped in at a wiping 945lbs. that would have been
giant news if it wasn't for the 1270. When it rains
it pours and its pouring here in P.V. right now!! Giant
tuna are still at both, Corbeteña and El Banco,
the big tuna have been here for about 3 weeks now and
it just keeps on getting better, bait was easier to
catch this past week and the giant count has gone up
considerably!
 Denis
Braid will be fishing with Master Baiter's aboard High
Maintenance in September to finish a giant yellow fin
tuna vided the started last year that produced a bunch
of marlin but no tuna, this year the tuna are so thick
we should get some great vided, also Teresa Braid will
be shooting for the women world record yellow fin, that
record was reserved for Tonya Gabruk, formally of Master
Baiter's Sport Fishing until she decided to retire and
hook in Florida, good luck Teresa!!
