Brandon Bryant’s first Marlin caught in Cabo San Lucas
Brandon Bryant’s first Marlin caught in Cabo San Lucas. Catch and Release. On April 15, Craig, Alan, Brandon, Virginia, and Page Bryant all went out on the Reel Slippery Lizzard for some deep sea sportfishing. Brandon got a Marlin (his first), Paige a Jack Crevalle (Toro), and Virginia reeled in a nice dorado. Lobo was Captain, Chino mate, and Jim Mansbridge, our official IGFA observer was along as well. Brandon fought in his 97 inch Striped Marlin in just under 10 minutes. Here is some footage of the fight. Nice work, Brandon. The Reel Slippery LIzzard is a 43 ft Bertram yacht, part of the Slippery Lizzard Sportfishing charter fleet in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
