Claire got her second wahoo but earned it the hard way after a 1:1/2 hour battle on 20 lb.
The fish was hooked in the corner of the jaw and gave the young lady the fight of her life.

MADEIRA SEASON GETS BETTER
Saturday, August 29th, 2009This is now the end of August and the season is getting better. This is fantastic and like seasons 15 years ago. it looks like it will go well into September and this was not unheard of back when MADEIRA got started as the hottest destination for Giant Atlantic Blues. Thing is there has been no real peak in the bite but a steady stream of fish with hardly a day that goes by when a fish is not caught or seen. And the average size at the moment is very good. 7/900 the norm.

A NICE MADEIRAN BLUE FOR PETER FOX
Monday, August 17th, 2009Getting good images of Big Blues can be difficult in particular if you are short handed on board. They always want to run away from the boat before they jump.
