The first Blue Marlin off SC caught this year. Onboard the newest addition to our fleet. Caught by Jeremy Parson. Capt. Charlie Marrow at the helm. The 30’ Boston Whaler Express (Plumber’s Wet Dream) proved that outboards can catch Marlin. It is owned by Timothy Redd. This is the second one in a year.
Estimated between 600-650 pounds. Was caught 8 miles off of Charleston Bump in 1300 feet of water. The lure was a Black Bart Big Rock Plunger Rainbow color. Caught on a Penn International 50. Fought it for two and a half hours stand up, and it apparently got hit by a shark close to the dorsal fin. They leadered the fish, and on it’s last dive, the swivel separated.
The guys just went out trying to catch Yellow Fin Tuna.
Good job guys.
