When it comes to catching giant black marlin weighing more than 1,000 pounds (commonly called "granders") there is no better place on Earth than the Great Barrier Reef off Australia. Every year, marlin of gargantuan size migrate through the area and Capt. Tim Richardson, owner of Tradition Charters, has been fishing these waters since 1989. This is one of the most unique offshore fisheries in the world. Richardson specializes in multi-day trips where anglers fish for massive marlin all day and spend the night on the boat, anchored out on the edge of the reef. Listen in as Richardson talks about the history of the Cairns big-game fishery, the large fish he's caught and his love of marlin fishing.
