The Bisbee’s Black & Blue is renowned for its twists and turns so Thursday’s late-afternoon antics should have been predictable.
But this is the richest fishing contest in the world 
and anything can happen. And it did.
Martha McNabb, fishing aboard her 61 Viking Retriever, took a little over an hour to boat her blue marlin after it ate a purple and black Islander lure in Grid D-5 due south of the cape. It tipped the scales at 525 pounds and instantly became the tournament leader and top money winner so far. Based on Friday’s outcome, McNabb’s marlin is worth at least $1.13 million dollars overall.
