Black Marlin Lizard Island, Australia

Blue Marlin Mauritius

Blue Marlin Kona, Hawaii

This fish was weighed minus its tail and guts. It was conservatively estimated to weigh 1400 to 1500 lbs when whole and had to be cut into pieces in order to transport it. The marlin attacked a chrome-headed lure rigged on 80-lb test line. Capt. Harry Grace’s boat, the PAUL KAI ALII ALII II, was a 19-foot skiff. The fish measured 20 feet in length.

Blue Marlin Mauritius

Blue Marlin Kona, Hawaii

Capt. Darrin Isaacs of the SPELLBOUND, a 41-foot Hatteras, had his hands full with this one. The marlin ate a jet lure and gave them a lot of trouble at leader. So much so that they clipped a 130-lb outfit to the 80-lb rig the marlin was hooked on so they could turn the big fish's head. Fight time was four hours.
