Inside Sportfishing: Black Marlin Boulevard With Ted Williams, Circa 1954

Join us as we step back in time to 1954 as baseball great Ted Williams introduces us to the Cabo Blanco Fishing Club in Peru, before heading off the beach, making bait, and doing battle with a black marlin weighing in at over 1,200 pounds. The original 16mm color film has all been carefully 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. S. Rip Farrington picks up the action where Ted leaves off with more spectacular footage showcasing this great fishery in all its grandeur. Doug Olander, Editor in Chief, writes in SportFishing magazine, “...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.”
