BIG BLUES FROM THE CANARY ISLANDS
Mr. Erich Grohe from Austria caught
the three Atlantic Blue Marlin on a Black Kona Buddha from
his diesel powered 6m boat. The 300kg and 160kg fish were both
a solo effort. |
The following is an extract from an email from Erich-
I was again in Gran Canaria for 4 weeks in August. A total of 24 fishing days out at sea. In August I was accompanied by friend who is a newcomer of Big Game friends. As I often go out fishing alone, I have equipped my small 6 meter Diesel motorboat with 50PS, an additional steering gear and a remote control, so that I can use autopilot to control the boat from the fighting chair.This way fishing the "big ones" becomes even more exciting. It's also possible to catch a Marlin without any help. Every movement becomes routine, but a small mistake and the fish is gone. This is Hemingway style at its best. The fishing equipment are mainly PENN International 50,80 and 130. Erich Grohe |
