Vintage Video, Hemingway Style, Catching Giant Bluefin, Bimini Bahamas

This is why I fight for the bluefin. How beautiful are they swimming in that gin clear water. It's so cool that they released the bluefin they caught. This is what we're about and where we need to keep heading. This is exactly why I started the Catch & Release program for the bluefin.

Be minded that this was long ago. No longer do vast schools of giant bluefin invade the waters off Bimini. Some do, but no where near the vast schools that were once there and as you can see in the video were so easy to spot with a plane.

Special thanks to the good folks at Costa Del Mar for their ongoing support for conservation and to the IGFA for digging this beauty out of the IGFA film vault. You can see more great IGFA classic film excerpts on Costa Del Mar's Channel C here. (Hint - the New Zealand marlin clip is also great fun)
