Allen Gray

Allen “Boo” Gray caught the essence of offshore fishing with this shot of a blue marlin, estimated to weigh between 500 and 600 pounds, that he and crew members recently caught aboard his 28-foot Scout near the Edisto Banks. The fish was hooked on a Shimano TLD30, and four anglers fought the fish before it was brought to the boat and released.
