The team returns to Faial Island, Azores for their second trip of this season. The next 7 days are filled with the best blue marlin fishing the team, and maybe the world has ever seen. With the team losing their largest marlin to date. A fish they estimate is 1200+ pounds. The trip will go down as what everyone describes as a "historical blue marlin bite." Similar to that of Madiera, Portugals historical bite in the 90's. Along with the team is Alex Fanjul, a friend the team met 14 months prior at the start of the tour in Madeira.

With slick grease conditions the team runs into an unexpected species. An Atlantic surface swordfish. Unprepared for the sighting they scramble to present a bait to the fish.

Tune in for the bite of a lifetime and relive the best 7 days of the world tour yet.
