Alongside is an excellent Blue Marlin taken on 27 Feb 04, by Ken Aly from Australasian Playgrounds, Victoria.  This beautiful Blue weighed in at 171Kg and was caught on 37Kg line class.  Ken has been fishing for 47 years, and this is his first-ever marlin.   It took Ken just a little over 1/2 hour to land this beast.

This is one good yellowfin.   It was caught by Lou Maglio aboard Trudee V in June 03 and weighed in at 65Kg.  With this superb fish, Lou would have had many great barbecues with his mates! BermyTuna.jpg (29629 bytes)

Paul Heffernan is shown locked into battle with a Blue Marlin of an estimated 900lbs PLUS!  The fish was hooked, fought and tagged aboard Trudee V on the 8 May 2002. The fish size was assessed by both CAPT Keiren O'Brien and CAPT Mark Rose.

 

After a three and a half hour battle, the fish was eventually subdued and tagged.  As it turned out, this was the winning fish for the tournament!

 

Pictures alongside are some thumbnail photos that clearly exhibit the size, strength and power of the awesome fish.  Just click on the 'thumbnails' to enlarge.

The first marlin to be captured in Bermagui for the 2001 season.  This magnificent Blue Marlin was caught by Kim and Paul Lee (and friends) aboard Tru-dee V.  The Lees had a fantastic day and no doubt they will be back for another charter.

Opposite is Paige Franklin on board Tru-dee V in March 2001.  Paige is enjoying the anticipation of the strike - just waiting for those pair of Tiagra 80W reels to start their unmistakable growl - as only Tiagra's do!
