Biggest White in 29 Years
Sean Healey hooked his second white marlin ever at 9:30 a.m. this morning. After an hour long fight on a disabled boat, Sean and his crew boated a 93.5 lb. white marlin, the largest white since 1980. The fish, which the crew of the Orion brought in by truck, currently stands to win $890,000.
As soon as Sean hooked the white, the transmission on the Orion died. The boat, which was stuck in forward, could only circle in wide loops. Sean had to walk around the boat, fighting the fish for an hour as it jumped in and out of the water before he finally brought it aboard. An amateur marlin fisher, Sean had no idea what he had just caught, but his crew certainly did.
