Capt. Billy Billson on Viking II released a 1,000 lbs. Black Marlin while fishing off the Great Barrier Reef. On that same day, he released an 800 lbs. Black Marlin too!
There have been some big ones around, so it was only a matter of time. Alan and Ian Card on the Challenger put first time angler Enzo Diana on a fish of a lifetime, releasing a 1,000+ lbs. Blue Marlin. This was a well photographed fish, from underwater to above water and even some fellow fishermen on the Fa La Me of the release
Capt. Tom Krauss on the Hooker released a 1,000+ Blue Marlin. They were hooked up to a 50 lbs. Tuna when this big girl showed up out of nowhere and ate their tuna. Two hours later they had her boat side and released here.
