Local catch is world record breaker
Posted on Fri, 11/13/2009 Cayman News Service
Jonathan Doak has set a new
world record, pending approval from the International Game Fishing Association,
for catching an Escolar weighing in at 125 lbs. Doak caught the fish, which
is known in restaurants as white tuna, on a 50-lb test line while
aboard Run Things with Captain Charles Ebanks and Emil Terry
on 3 Nov. Out fishing for swordfish off South Sound in approximately
1800 feet of water, Doak set his bait at 800 feet, and the fight
reportedly lasted approximately 20 minutes. The official detailing
and paperwork was conducted at Harbour House Marina on 4 November
with members of the Cayman Islands Fishing Association, who officially
weighed the fish and were provided with the leader used to catch
the whopper.
