The Pursuit of 1000-Pound Marlin: Great Barrier Reef
2020•40m•Released
Documentary
This adrenaline-fueled film takes you down under, across the equator, to fish Australia’s Great Barrier Reef for 1000-Pound Black Marlin. This area offers some of the world’s nicest people and best bill fishing to be found anywhere. Before heading out of Yorkeys Knob Marina in Cairns to do battle, we offer a glimpse of what flying to the South Pacific was like 50 years ago.
