Booked a full-day deep sea charter out of Bimini Big Game Club and we were trolling the Gulf Stream within 20 minutes. Raised a gorgeous blue marlin that the captain estimated at over 400 pounds. After a 90-minute battle on stand-up tackle we got a clean release. We also boated three wahoo and a nice mahi on the way back in. Bimini lives up to every bit of its big game fishing reputation. Hemingway knew what he was doing.
