• What is a grander?

In the context of fishing, a "grander" typically refers to a fish, especially a large game fish, that is exceptionally large and exceeds 1000 pounds. The term is commonly used in big-game fishing, particularly for marlin. For example, a "grander marlin" might be a marlin that weighs at least 1,000 pounds. The term is often associated with trophy-sized fish and is used to highlight the exceptional size and weight of the catch. Anglers often pursue "granders" as a significant achievement and a mark of success in big-game fishing.
