A monster Blue Marlin 610 lbs was caught just south west of Dolphin Point on Sunday April 27th 2008. The angler was a tourist, James Allen, from Columbus, Ohio.  James was fishing with Captain Derrin Ebanks aboard "Hit-N-Run".  They hooked up about 1:45 pm and fought the fish for over five hours. The fish which was caught on 80 lb. test line could prove to be a new Cayman Islands record  if it is approved by the Cayman Islands Angling Club which follows The IGFA rules. The current record which was set in 1984 is 584 lbs.
