Black Marlin Cairns, Australia

Capt. Corey Hard & Jimbo Bladin on Askari caught this massive Black Marlin, they called 1,200+ lbs. They were fishing on Opal Ridge when this beauty took the bait for Angler Steve Swachby. They did try to take her as she was a trophy fish, but she managed to straighten two gaffs and broke free from two more. What a BEAST!

Capt. Brett Alty on Mistress released a black marlin he called 1,200 and one of the largest he has seen on the reef. The fish was on for just under 3 Hours, fishing 75 lbs. of drag. She came to the wire four times, but did not jump much, so this was the best picture that was captured. She was so un-impressed with the drag pressure, that she headed over to tuna school and tried to feed.
