GET OUT THERE ON JULY 4

Are Bermuda and Kona, Hawaii the hottest spots on the planet for big blue marlin? After all, Bermuda and Kona have each won the World Cup seven times in twenty eight years. That, however, is not the whole story. The odds are stacked in favor of the locations with the most teams entered in the tournament. That would be Bermuda and Kona. Other hot spots such as the Canary and Cape Verde Islands, Madeira, Azores, Bahamas, Caribbean, and South Pacific Islands and many other places are probably just as likely to produce a big blue marlin on any given day but fewer teams are fishing there.

The World Cup has been won in 10 locations world wide. You just have to get out there. It also does not necessarily require a huge marlin to win a huge pot of money. A 585 pound marlin won the Big Blue Challenge in 2011. Thirty five percent of the World Cup events have been won by marlin under 650 pounds.

On July 4 you have a choice. You can sit in your back yard eating hamburgers and drinking beer, or fish the World Cup for a chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars.
