Nearly 900 Blue Marlin in One Season – Elite Gamefishing Secrets | Jimmy Brown

In this episode of Get The Net, we sit down with private skipper Jimmy Brown, a fisherman with a seriously impressive career spanning New Zealand and some of the world’s best sportfishing destinations. From his time aboard the legendary Carol Libby — part of a program that raised nearly 900 blue marlin in a season — to chasing giant bluefin tuna in Nova Scotia, Jimmy shares what it takes to operate at the highest level of gamefishing.

Jimmy now runs Advanced Sport Fishing, helping Kiwi anglers rig their boats properly and fish more effectively. We dive into how to set up a trailer boat for success, the importance of presentation and precision, and how small details can make a huge difference when chasing big fish. From lure spreads to ocean conditions, Jimmy explains what separates consistent crews from everyone else.

We also talk blue marlin in Costa Rica, giant bluefin tuna in Nova Scotia, broadbill swordfish in New Zealand, and even shallow-water snapper fishing. Jimmy shares practical advice for everyday anglers plus insights gained from fishing professionally around the world — including the mindset needed to chase big fish and keep improving.
