Venezuela - Vintage report
This past week - actually 8 consecutive days, the Vintage captained by owner Hans Kraaz and Eric Anderson hosted Jens Laub, a single angler from Germany who's desire was to catch a grand slam.
The continuing report is from Capt. Eric Anderson:
13 Sept - "I having a great time", said Jens Laub, while fishing on the Vintage - "I caught 3 sails and a nice blue marlin Over 300lbs. Both are my first Atlantic sails and blue marlin."
Waters are flat calm - very unusual for this time of year.
14 Sept -"A really special day. Flat Calm - We caught 9 out of 11 white marlin 4 of 5 Blue Marlin (a couple of nice ones 350) 1 on 20# and had 3 sail bites but missed them all.
Our slam was knocking, but we struck out. Jens is worn out. I hope he brings his helmet tomorrow. The moon is rising....."
15 Sept - "Jens caught a blue marlin today missed a few sails. Flat calm. great bite. he won't ever recover fully from this trip!!!"
