MISS KRISTA wins Tournament with a 416 LB Pacific Blue Marlin

JACKIE JACOBS
MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT

February 16, 2008
RRE Shoreline Dock
 

co-sponsored by
Marshalls Energy Company

   Nicky deBrum of Team Miss Krista took first place with a 416 pound Pacific Blue Marlin at the cost of one of their outboard engines. According to the crew, they were fighting the monster - lines tight, slowly reeling it in when suddenly the line went slack. They initially thought that they lost the fish when all of a sudden the Marlin jumped out of the water, lure&line in mouth and started charging the boat and with one final leap it reached the stern of the boat with it's bill plunging into the port side engine like a hot knife slicing through a stick of butter. Luckily, no one got hurt and the team managed to land the fish.

WHAT HAPPENED BACK THEN

Since this is the clubs 25th anniversary year I am trying to collect the records of what happened back then. So I am adding some new pages to the site to record what happened back in each of those 25 years. The pages will be linked through the clubs HISTORY page. Every couple of weeks I will try to add another year to the site working our way back to those early 80's.

 

With 29 coral atolls spread over more than 750,000 square miles of tropical ocean, The Marshall Islands is host to over 1000 varieties of open-ocean, deep sea and reef fish.  This means an incredible opportunity for the sport fishing enthusiast. Anglers can enjoy fly fishing, jigging, bottom fishing, trolling, casting/whipping, and more.

Among the varieties of fish that abound in these islands include the most prized sport fish: blue marlin, sailfish, yellowfin, tuna, wahoo, mahimahi, barracuda, bonefish, snappers, groupers and much, much more.

All 29 atolls offer excellent fishing within the lagoons, on the reef flats, and in the open ocean.  From Majuro, the capitol atoll, anglers can easily travel out to neighboring Arno Atoll by boat or to other atolls via Air Marshall Islands.   Fishing here is year round but the wind and sea conditions are most favorable between the months of May and October.
