It’s no secret that Bermuda is one of the best destinations in the world to go fishing. Many of the International Game Fishing Association’s world record catches were hauled in near our shores and the island also hosts the Bermuda Triple Crown, an annual billfish tournament featuring some of the world’s premier anglers—like the guy who caught this bad boy. Reports Bernews—the island’s latest online source for, well, Bermuda news—Playmate skipper Kevin Winters and crew hauled in a 1,103-pound marlin on Monday, one of thirteen “granders” to be caught in Bermuda since 1983. I can’t say with any certainty what captain Kev did with the fish when he took it down from that Island Construction crane, but my guess is he might be eating grilled marlin steaks for the foreseeable future.
