What’s your favourite Cape Verde Blue memory?
“I remember a marlin that we hooked on the side in front of São Pedro 6 years ago. We hooked her in really shallow water. We ended up fighting this beast for 6 hours. She wasn’t our biggest, around 900lbs, but it was a very cool memory.’
“I choose to stay in Cape Verde because I love the fishing here. It’s the best place in the world for Blue Marlin!”
