CAPE VERDE: hot Arpil marlin action
Zak Conde:We fished off San Nicolau island, Santo Antao Island and the North West Bank and caught nine Blue Marlin in the last eight days well up to 500 lbs
Olaf Grimkowski: yesterday we went to the North West Bank again and on the way there we caught a 175 pound Bigeye tuna.
Fishing on the bank we only raised 1 fish that didn’t switch and had a bite on the way home. Instead two days ago we caught 2 from 2 on pitch-baits and raised 4 more blue marlin that didn’t switch.
At the beginning of the week we went to the North West Bank today and caught four blue marlin around 300 - 400 pounds on pitch-baits and we had one bite of a 550 pound marlin and raised two more which one was a monster in the grander class but it didn’t bite the bait.

FRANCE: giant 100 pound common carp caught!
The huge fish was 100 lb and 8 oz very very close to the World Record. While the current record for the species overall is 101 lb and 4 oz. Back then it was just 7 oz shy of the world record, but did take for sure the French record.
It seems that it’s not the first time the fish has been caught, probably it came out two years ago weighing around 88 lb when it was caught by angler Damian Clarke.

ECUADOR: Galapagos marlin report of April
Continuing our tradition of bringing anglers and some of the best marlin fishing together this last week has been no exception. Conditions continue with wonderful weather most days. Calm seas and water temps ranging from 74 to 77 in most areas. Marlin action has been decent most of the week.
April 15, 2013 the Patricia reported fishing on Bank 0-30 for a day with Brazilian anglers. Captain Yury Gutierrez said the day was nice with 3 to 5 foot seas. Fishing on the bank they released 1 out of 2 striped marlin that bit. They had some nice big eye tunas that averaged 50 lb and a couple of dorado. Around 2 pm they hooked and landed a black marlin estimated around 500 lb.
April 16, 2013 Wayne Hanson and Margie Hanson headed out onboard the Big Fish to Rosa Blanca Bank. There was very little life and bait on the bank and only a 45 lb big eye was caught this day.
April 17, 2013 fishing on 88 Bank with the Hansons they went 4 out of 6 striped marlin ranging 150 to 190 lb each fish. Wayne and Margie each released 2 nice stripeys and Margie lost a 3rd 20 feet from the boat. The seas were 3 to 5 but very nice day and it was fun filled day
April 18, 2013 again the Hansons headed out on the Big Fish and wanted to try their luck at blue marlin. We fished near Punta Pit on the north drop of the island. Wayne's fish hit around 12:21 and was a very nice black marlin estimated around 700 lb. The fight lasted about an hour. Shortly after the fish was caught Margie Hanson hooked a beautiful blue of about 500 lb. She did a great job catching that stubborn blue in 1 hour 21 minutes.
April 19, 2013 - On board the Big Fish Margie and Wayne Hanson shared their last day by fishing 88 Bank. When we arrived on the bank we were greeted by a large tuna over 300 lb that slammed a bridge teaser. At the same time almost a striped marlin came in the spread but did not hook up. As the day went a total of 8 stripeys were raised with 3 bites and one release by Margie.

USA: a 1,000 lb white shark caught in Florida
A big white shark estimated to measure 13 or 14 feet and weigh between 850 - 1,000 pounds was caught and released last Tuesday off Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The anglers aboard the "Hooked Up" fought the massive shark for around 2 hours. The crew expected to see a bull shark at the end of the line because white shark catches are rare off Florida.
"No one knew what it was until we got it to the boat," said Taco Perez, who owns the charter boat, "I've been fishing here since 1969 and Greg and I saw one three years ago. It's so darn uncommon. We're pretty excited about it."

Eddie flathead catfish beat the previous inland waters state record set in 2003 with a nearly 72 pound fathead caught at San Carlos Lake.

We went out to the place for the last hour or so of the ebb, then hopefully fish the whole flood tide up to 8.00 pm.
We all stuck down a skate bait and it wasn’t long before my rod nearly got pulled from the holder. The fish just took off, never had one run so quickly from the off. The fish was giving a very good account of itself, and the longer the fight went on the wind started to pick up
After nearly two hours the big skate finally appeared at the side of the boat and was safely gaffed and brought aboard measured and tagged it turned out to be a 115 lb - 52 kilo.

“She has the biggest ever from a lake here, and he has the biggest from any Kansas river,” Witt said. “Those are some big nice fish.”
According to the anglers, the big fish was released alive back into the lake.
Catching blue catfish between 20 and 40 pounds is now common at some lakes, like Milford and Melvern Reservoirs.

IGFA: hot catches news April 2013
Here all the hot catches news of April
IGFA Captain Yann Colas has been guiding anglers out of Mauritius for years. During his time on this island nation in the Indian Ocean, he has put anglers on some amazing catches – the most recent being a dogtooth tuna (Gymnosanda unicolor) that tipped the scales at 28.5 kg (62 lb 13 oz). French angler Cecile Klein was slow trolling a live bonito off Rodrigues Island, Mauritius on March 5, 2013 when the toothy tuna nailed the bait and started peeling line off her Shimano 50W. After a tough 15 minute fight, the 11 year old Cecile was able to subdue this potential female Junior angler record. The existing IGFA record, also caught in Mauritius, currently stands at 23 kg (50 lb 11 oz).
California native Gary Bulla was fishing off Cerralvo Island, Mexico on March 17, 2013 when he landed a 15.82 kg (34 lb 14 oz) California yellowtail (Seriola lalandi) while fly casting with local guide Valente Lucero. After eating a custom sardina fly, Bulla’s yellowtail pulled him around the Pacific Ocean for an hour and a half before being boated. With the current men’s 8 kg (16 lb) tippet class record standing at 14.51 kg (32 lb), Bulla’s fish qualifies him for the potential new men’s 8 kg (16 lb) tippet class record.
While fishing the Black Warrior River in central Alabama on February 28th, James R. Bramlett landed a massive landlocked striped bass (Morone saxatilis) that could earn him the new All-Tackle record. Bramlett, a native of Alabama, pulled up to his fishing spot at around 11 am and immediately noticed big stripers busting schools of shad on top of the water. He quickly hooked a live shad and tossed it in the vicinity of the action. Bramlett’s outfit was soon slammed and he knew he was hooked up with a quality fish. After a 30 minute fight on 30 lb tackle, Bramlett landed the catch of a lifetime that tipped the scales at 31.55 kg (69 lb 9 oz). The existing IGFA record is 30.61 kg (67 lb 8 oz).
