The Hemingway Challenge 2014

21:51          
Key West is synonymous with Ernest Hemingway and his love of fishing for Blue Marlin which inspired his book, the Old Man and The Sea. Generations of anglers have come here during the season to fish for these incredible sporting fish and in this episode we follow the action at the 2014 Hemingway Challenge Key West Marlin Tournament. Conditions look perfect as the boats head out and start fishing and it isn't long before they find the fish. The scoring system is simple with 400 points for a released Blue or White Marlin, 50 points for a Sailfish and in the Fun Fish Category, 1 point per pound for a Dolphin Fish, Tuna or Wahoo. Plenty of big Dolphin Fish are caught before some Blue and White Marlin are boated bringing day 1 to a close. On days 2 and 3, the action really hots up and all the boats are catching Marlin, Sailfish, Dolphin and Wahoo. The weigh in reveals a tight finish with the top team, Ruckus winning with 490 points.
