Hope Mizzell, Tony Mizzell of Columbia, SC and Captain Marc Blackburn of St. John, VI fishing the North Drop out of Red Hook Marina in St. Thomas, VI, hook, catch and realease a trophy blue marlin. It was the first blue marlin for Hope and Tony. The trio was fishing out of Mixed Bag II and almost heading in with one line left in the water when this mammoth blue marlin decided to hit the lone line and bait. The fight ensued for 2 hours and 50 plus minutes before the blue marlin was released unharmed and ready to go for the next angler targeting her.
