Puerto Rico - 6.00 pm
HUP HOLLAND HUP
It was today a Dutch party on our boats.
On the boat Blue Marlin it was the angler Kees Gillesen who hooked up at 10.30 am, with a blue marlin.
Kees needed 40 minutes to bring this `heavy` and hard fighting marlin besides the boat.
The weight of this fish was estimated by the crew at 240 kilo.
Of course this marlin was tagged and released.
Only 5 minutes after the congratulations were exchanged, a second blue marlin was hooked.
Wim van de Berk was the `lucky fisher` and he played with his `beauty` about 25 minutes.
The weight of this blue marlin was about 125 kilo.
Congratulations again for both anglers, captain Eduardo and deckmate Jeroen.
The Dutch angler Johan, who released yesterday a blue marlin on the boat Cavalier, caught today on this same boat, a good sized Wahoo.
The White Marlin arrived yesterday on the island Fuerteventura where they will participate in the yearly big game tournement.
Tonight I have booked a flight to Fuerteventura, so the next 3 days I will inform you in this `Latest News` about the fishing results of this great event.
