406 POUND BLUE MARLIN
2010 Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament
This is my short story about the 2010 Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. We decided to make a run to the eastern wall of the gulf stream on Friday June 18, 2010. We left the dock around 3:30 am and arrived there at 8:30 am. We looked for an edge until 9:00am finding it a little further offshore. At 9:15 we had 2 nice yellowfin tuna on. We trolled around the large patties of grass until 12:00 and I decided to head back inshore where I had seen a nice 2 degree temp. change. At 12:15 she gray hounded from outside to inside on the right long rigger plying on a Purple and Black 4-EYED MONSTER. We fought the fish for only 40 minutes before putting the Aftco gaff in her and pulling her thru the tuna door. The Marlin weighed 460 lbs and measured 107" long, 60" girth and the knuckle around the tail was 15".
