hardly believe it and have to keep pinching myself to make sure it wasn\u2019t all a dream. No, it\u2019s real and the mission has at long last been accomplished. After 8 years and a total of 96 days\u2019 fishing the Great Barrier Reef I finally succeeded in officially catching and weighing a grander <strong>Black Marlin of 1,032 lbs.<\/strong> and thus become the world\u2019s first angler to achieve a Marlin Grander Slam. It was a tough time but the hunt for this ultimate record is now over. You can\u2019t imagine how huge the burden was that fell off my shoulders. From now on marlin fishing will take on an entirely new dimension; no more stress, no more record hunting, just pure fishing for fun.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1560601825\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8460-1-1000x735.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8460-1-1000x735.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8460-1-400x294.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8460-1-768x564.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8460-1-500x367.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8460-1-600x441.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8460-1.jpeg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1560601825 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h3>How it all began<\/h3>\n<p>On 30th January 2007, in spite of a cyclone behind us, I had the great fortune to catch a <strong>Pacific Blue Marlin of 1,238 lbs. <\/strong>off Rodrigues Island with skipper Yann Collas, which at the same time was an IGFA world record for 80 lb. tackle. This record still stands today.<\/p>\n<p>This was followed in May 2011 by a second weighed grander, an <strong>Atlantic Blue Marlin<\/strong> of <strong>1,150 lbs., <\/strong>which I was able to catch with skipper Zak Conde off Cape Verde.<\/p>\n<p>All my fishing pals kept at me, saying I should write history by catching a black marlin of over 1,000 lbs. and thus achieving a so-called <strong>Triple Grander Slam. <\/strong>Until then nobody had ever managed to do this. A 1,000 lb. black marlin ought to be an easy job anyway, they all said. Just try the Great Barrier Reef and achieving the world\u2019s first triple grander slam would be a cup of tea\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t have to think too long about this. The idea was good and I had the goal firmly in my sights. In reality this couldn\u2019t have been further from the truth. Even on the Great Barrier Reef grander black marlin don\u2019t simply jump into your boat. During the season from the beginning of October to the end of November more than 20 charter boats and numerous private vessels target heavyweight black marlin in a 200 nautical mile area. If you are in the right place at the right time and are then fortunate enough to find a really big fish, entice it to take your bait, hook it, fight it to the side of the boat and gaff and capture it in compliance with IGFA rules, you have managed it. Ensuring that everything goes without a hitch (irrespective of weather, current, captain, angler, crew, boat, material, all your knots, timing, sharks and lots and lots of good luck) is a completely different matter altogether. Marlin of this size will not forgive the slightest of mistakes or carelessness and make all the difference between success and failure. There is also a huge difference between fighting a black marlin until the wireman grasps the leader (the fish thus having been officially caught) and actually gaffing a black marlin and getting it into the boat to be officially weighed.<\/p>\n<p>From one year to the next on the Great Barrier Reef I began to realize that this mission was going to be anything but simple. Then after 8 years and a total of 96 days\u2019 fishing everything slipped into place at last. It was an extremely tough job and to be honest I was beginning to have my doubts.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1308816534\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DJI_0336-1000x666.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DJI_0336-1000x666.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DJI_0336-400x267.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DJI_0336-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DJI_0336-500x333.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DJI_0336-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/DJI_0336.jpeg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1308816534 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h3>8. Record attempt at achieving a triple grander slam of officially weighed marlin<\/h3>\n<h3>Days 1 to 7<\/h3>\n<p>The plans for this trip were for 13 days\u2019 fishing on Amokura with skipper Brett Goetze (Australia) and his mates Jimmy Krauszer (USA), Jake Flynn (USA) and Richard Abela (Australia). We set off from Cooktown and for the first couple of days fished the central reefs down to the Linden Bank located to the south.<\/p>\n<p>Things didn\u2019t look particularly promising for us this time. The current was flowing from the wrong direction. The water was cooler than usual and very few fish were being caught by the other boats either. We had a tough time until day 8. Although we had contact with fish almost every day we were only able to hook and catch a few smaller ones \u2013 so where had all the big marlin gone?<\/p>\n<p>On the afternoon of day 8 Brett decided to make a move straight from the Linden Bank in the direction of Ribbon Reef No. 10 (some 70 nautical miles away). We arrived at Ribbon Reef No. 8 and dropped anchor at around midnight. Until then I had only experienced manoeuvres like this with a small number of Cape Verde skippers \u2013 what a ride\u2026 great respect for so much commitment!<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x

3\/11 marlin caught including a fine specimen in the 800 lb. class. During the late afternoon we had one strike after another but were unable to hook any of them. Then what can only be described as a super grander cruised past our boat without showing any interest in our baits. None of us is ever likely to forget the sight of its tailfin \u2013 an absolutely awesome fish. We were totally frustrated by our modest hook-up rate of 9\/28. Obviously there was no point in carrying on like this so we had to change our system. Nevertheless, the atmosphere on board remained good and positive. Arguments, pressure, recriminations and shouting were not likely to help one little bit. Together we tried to improve our quota by carrying out a few minor technical changes to our setup. True to the motto \u201cOne Team \u2013 One Dream\u201d we had to persevere as a unit with all the ups and downs this entailed. As a matter of interest the hook-up rate on the other boats was also far from optimal.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1101065138\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div

This can\u2019t really be happening, we thought. Shortly afterwards we caught a 400 pounder which put up a good show. Towards early afternoon the strikes came in quick succession. A double strike and yet another 800 lb. marlin. Half an hour later another double strike. One of the strikes was formidable and the gaffs were brought out just to be on the safe side. It turned out to be a fine marlin specimen of some 900 lbs. on the end of the leader and we then duly released it. \u00a0I simply couldn\u2019t believe it. Yet again so close \u2013 it wasn\u2019t to be \u2013 or was it?<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_995520071\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\"

an hour later another specimen-size fish struck. After some 20 minutes we had it close enough to grab the leader for the first time but weren\u2019t sure whether or not it was going to reach the magic 1,000 lbs. mark or not. We all agreed it was going to be a close thing. We left the marlin on the leader and then decided to take the next opportunity to gaff and capture it. We got a second chance and the lads did a bombastic job gaffing it. It took five of us to drag the marlin on board in a joint effort, as quickly as possible since the sharks were closing in.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_516443077\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"704\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8381-704x1000.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8381-704x1000.jpeg 704w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8381-282x400.jpeg 282w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8381-768x1091.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8381-500x710.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8381-600x852.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AF2T8381.jpeg 845w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_516443077 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>Now we had to steam off to the nearest mother ship (Beluga) to have the marlin officially weighed. We knew it was going to be a damned close call and measured it a couple of times. According to the conversion tables it could have been anywhere between 980 and 1,050 lbs., depending on how well nourished it was. Thus began the torture of a long wait\u2026 was it going to be enough this time?<\/p>\n<p>The calibrated and certified scales on the Beluga settled at 1,032 lbs. and you could have heard the jubilant cheering as far away as Cooktown. Mission accomplished, we hugged each other at least a hundred times and celebrated late into the night. By the way, we had previously placed several bets for every day at sea, including a haircut by the skipper for the exuberant angler who caught a weighed grander\u2026<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img

Over the 96 days we had strikes from a small number of marlin weighing over 1,000 lbs. but lost all of them. Leaders snapped, hooks pulled and we even lost a big fish while it was being gaffed. At times I had given up any hope of catching the elusive fish. It even reached the stage when I was unable to get any joy from an 800 lb. marlin. This is the point where you have to consider seriously what you are doing. I told all my friends and family that if things didn\u2019t turn out this year either it was highly probable the mission would never be accomplished and that I most definitely needed a break. Now that my dream has come true I am over the moon since a new phase has begun in my marlin fishing. No stress anymore and great pleasure with every fish caught, irrespective of big or small, and I have promised myself to keep the gaffs firmly stored away in future!<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_761141176\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6362-1000x750.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6362-1000x750.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6362-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6362-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6362-500x375.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6362-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_6362.jpeg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_761141176 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>A thousand thanks to the Amokura crew with skipper Brett Goetze and his mates Jimmy Krauszer, Jake Flynn und Richard Abela \u2013 yeeeees we did it!!!!

We lost one weighing in excess of 1,100 lbs. on the leader and one during the gaffing process. One marlin weighing 906 lbs. was foul hooked in its caudal fin with a circle hook and unfortunately died by the time we got it on board. Another one weighing 950 lbs. (caught on our Big Smoker lure) was tail-wrapped and also died. \u00a0We fought a third marlin of 917 lbs. for three hours in the darkness, gaffed it but this one regrettably didn\u2019t reach the desired weight on the scales. We were able to conclude the great challenge on day 96 with a black marlin weighing 1,032 lbs. All the other marlin were released.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact details for Brett Goetze, Amokura:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Captain &#8211; Brett Goetze<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amokura &#8211; 57ft
