Channel: Black Marlin Boulevard
Video: Fishing with Ted Williams

Direct Link:

Red Sox slugger Ted Williams, A.K.A. "the splendid splinter", travels to Cabo Blanco, Peru to tango with some giant Marlin over sixty years ago. This historical footage documents a forgotten time when fishing was less complicated by technology and much more focused on the sporting nature. Ted ends up catching a Marlin over 1,200 pounds, which qualifies him for the exclusive "over 1,000 pond club" and at the time places him in the fishing history books with the eighth largest game fish caught on rod and reel at that time.

Inside Sportfishing couldn't be prouder being able to offer you a chance to own a piece of history, with our latest DVD release, Black Marlin Boulevard, Cabo Blanco Peru, circa 1954 with Ted Williams. This is truly a collectors' item, belonging right up there along A Tribute to Tuna. Doug Olander, Editor in Chief, of Sport Fishing Magazine, writes, "The waters off a nondescript bluff on the northern Peru coast produced the most remarkable action the world has ever seen for colossal black marlin, abundant swordfish, striped marlin and huge bigeye tuna. No other spot could rival it then: no other spot rivals it now. And it seems increasingly possible that no place ever will." The original 16mm color films, provided by the IGFA, have been magnetically cleaned, transferred and digitized, with unbelievable clarity and crispness, preserving forever an all time classic moment in time. Without question this is one of fishing's most historical moments. Baseball great, Ted Williams introduces us to the Cabo Blanco Fishing Club, before heading off the beach, making bait and doing battle with a black marlin weighing in at over 1,200 pounds. S. Rip Farrington picks up the action where Ted leaves of with more spectacular footage showcasing this great fishery in all its grandeur. Cabo Blanco Peru, circa, 1954 this is one you'll watch over and over again. Features 54 Minutes Digitally Mastered Stereo Color
