The Gregorek family of Anglers Paradise, Halwill, have just returned from a fishing trip in Watamu, Kenya. Zyg Gregorek said: "Our party consisted of myself, my wife Rose, my daughter Zenia and her husband Joe and my daughter Anna and her boyfriend Andy. In six days' fishing, on board 'Tega' with Steve, we had a total of 35 Billfish of which 25 were Marlin, including two Blue Marlin, two Black Marlin and ten Sailfish. At one stage, Anna's boyfriend Andy, Zenia's husband Joe and myself all fought Marlin at the same time and got them in. My wife Rose and I also had simultaneous Marlin strikes and brought them both in. I'm proud to say that my daughter Zenia Drury-Gregorek caught her first ever Marlin and ended up qualifying for a Billfish grand slam in the process by catching a Black Marlin, Striped Marlin and Sailfish on the same day, a very rare achievement. As far as I know, she could be the first person to have done this when catching her first Marlin. The whole family caught their first Marlin, except Zenia, who went one stage further and following her Marlin went on to achieve her grand slam, which even I have not had the pleasure of achieving, although being close several times." All the Billfish were tagged and released. Zyg added: "An outstanding few days fishing, which prompted Jason Schratweiser of the IGFA to say: 'I can tell you however, that is some of the most incredible Marlin action that I've heard of for some time!'"
