In
Cape Verde islands, in the middle of Atlantic Ocean angler Alexander
Trukhachev caught an impressive huge female blue marlin of 1.222 lb -
553 kg.
He
was fishing on board 33' Bertram Happy Hooker I with Capt. Simon
Bracey trolling a Bonze Mongrel Dog lure on a 130 lb tackle.
The
fight time was more than 3 hours.
Unfortunately
the fish died and so was boated and weighted on the shore.
