This little beauty was tagged on board Horizon.  You can see the tag attached and the anglers are about to release the bill fish after reviving it.

Gayle McPhee and her husband pose for a shot beside a 101Kg Pacific Blue Marlin landed aboard Horizon skippered by Charles Wheeler. The catch placed Gayle in the record books for Ladies 15Kg line class. Also in the photo is renown fisherman Fred Temminck.

Here you can see Horizon’s deckhand adjusting a lure to get it working just right on the wave face.

A very happy customer is ecstatic as he is dwarfed by this lovely Pacific Blue Marlin he landed aboard Horizon.

It is seldom that you get the opportunity to see your boat working in the middle of the ocean. Here is a lovely shot of Nevagivup landing a bill fish. One deckhand holds the leader and tries to bring the fish in close enough so that his counterpart can get a clear shot with a tag-pole. Once tagged the fish was released back into the wild to fight another day.

A proud angler holds on tight to this very nice Wahoo taken off the sea mounts 41 NM South of Port Vila aboard Nevagivup.

Four happy anglers aboard Nevagivup help each other display this medium-sized wahoo taken off Nguna island.

Nevagivup delivers yet again with this very outstanding Wahoo supported by a very happy angler with the help of the deck hands.

Well here is an interesting picture. The fish is huge but yours truly can’t tell if it is a Blue or Black Marlin. As you can see the head has been ravaged by a shark which has removed the starboard pectoral fin. As one of the main discerning factors between a black or blue is the fact that black marlin have rigid pectoral fins, I cannot tell. Can you help me Charles?
