On May 16th, 2025, the offshore waters of Cabo San Lucas delivered a classic striped marlin showdown aboard the powerful Blue Sea BERTRAM 60, captained by the ever-strategic Captain Alex.

Fishing Highlights: The Striped Marlin Showdown
Just after 10 a.m., the crew spotted a striped marlin tailing near the surface. Live bait was deployed, and within minutes, the reel screamed to life.
The marlin launched into the air, tail-walking across the wake in a dazzling display. The angler locked in for a 40-minute battle, adjusting drag and footwork as the fish dove deep and surged across the spread.
Later in the afternoon, a second marlin was spotted and hooked—another aerial acrobat, testing the team’s endurance and coordination. Both fish were measured and released safely, a perfect catch-and-release double.
“That marlin was all muscle and attitude,” one angler said. “It was like reeling in a lightning bolt.”
