Well done.
Something special about dragging a marlin on to your own boat too.

Wow awesome
You know you have a big fish when it's sticking over the back of the boat

Oh and I would say you could spare the tail for the dog to munch on with all that prime eating

What is that second fish? It look like what we call a yellowtail (type of jackfish, amberjack etc) only it's wayyyyy bigger.

I just looked it up, and it's the same friggin' fish! OMG. I've caught toads up to 30lbs, but that looks like a freakosauris comparatively. We get them to about 40, but that's really really rare. The 30lb ers pull like small trains, so that had to take some drag.

I've been catching those for 30 years and never seen one that big. Gonna share this with some locals, and tell them it was caught locally, just to watch 'em cry, and then try to get me to tell them the "spot."

BTW, try a filet of that marinated overnight in lemon pepper and olive oil. Then grill it. MONEY!
