AZORES. Its been a bit of a slow start to the season in Faial in the Azores - reasonable numbers of BigEyes and White Marlin but very few Blues; those being taken though are of a good size. That includes Zak Condes latest grander - 1075lbs - to a Scandinavian angler fishing stand-up gear from the Princess Alice Banks. (Im fairly certain Zak has now taken three grander Blues.) You might like to view is this short video - https://youtube/watch?v=5u4-EvXdQ_g - that contains some impressive jumps. Although its well worth focussing on - around 1:40 into the video - what could so easily have developed into a Stewart Campbell moment; with the deckie having taken the leader the angler forgets to wind the swivel hard into the top roller. Just too easy for the swivels momentum to create a tip wrap with the angler then connected to the fish by a 600lb (?) leader and the possibility of an early bath.
