Past winners are a who's who of Marlin fishing, and the competition for the Give Him Line Trophy is tremendous, with the winner never certain until the last minute of the last day.

The first worlds record Blue Marlin caught in a tournament was set by angler Elliot Fishman (845lbs.) in the 1968 July Open.
The Woman's current World Record Blue Marlin (1073lbs.) was caught July 6, by Maudi Lopez.

The long standing World record (1282lbs.) was held by Larry Martin and only recently broken.
The Virgin Islands, the only place to be for serious Blue Marlin in July.
