Customer Success: 171.4kg Blue Marlin for “Shade Breaka”

For many anglers, catching a marlin is a lifetime achievement. Landing a 171.4kg Blue Marlin is something truly special.

One of our customers, Shane Christensen, recently achieved exactly that aboard his boat “Shade Breaka.” The impressive fish was successfully landed and weighed at the Waihi Beach Bowentown Boating & Fishing Club, much to the excitement of everyone there — especially as it happened while the club was hosting a junior fishing competition.

A Memorable Catch

Bringing a fish of this size to the boat takes skill, teamwork, and a well-prepared vessel. Big game fishing pushes both anglers and equipment to the limit, and having reliable marine electronics on board makes a huge difference when searching for bait, structure, and temperature breaks offshore.

Built for Offshore Success

When fishing offshore for species like marlin, having the right electronics setup can make all the difference. High-performance chartplotters, sounders, and transducers help anglers locate bait schools, track water conditions, and identify productive fishing areas.

Congratulations Shane!

A huge congratulations to Shane Christensen and the crew aboard Shade Breaka on an incredible catch. A 171.4kg Blue Marlin is an achievement any angler would be proud of.

We’re always stoked to see customers enjoying their boats and getting results out on the water.

Tight lines and safe boating! 🎣
