George's First Black Marlin

I was born and raised on fishing, as the son of a prominent angling journalist my future could only be in fishing. I grew up fishing for anything that swam, fly fishing for trout in the chalk streams of England, to fishing for Porbeagle sharks in the English Channel. From the age of 13, summer holidays were spent in Madeira starting my apprenticeship in Game Fishing. For 9 consecutive summers I lure fished for Blue Marlin with many fish over 800lbs caught and released. During the later part of these 9 years, I was spending the rest of my year fishing in destinations such as Cairns, Bom Bom Island, Ghana and Brazil. All of these places are renowned for Big Marlin. I refined my skills in ultra light, light and heavy tackle by fishing with some of the most well respected captains and crews in the world. For the past 12 years, he has lived in Port Vila, Vanuatu running successful charter operations, and achieving numerous world records in the process.
