marlin

Below is a 4 1/2 foot white marlin caught by this fisherman in a boat similar to what you see behind him. He caught and fought this marlin simply with fishing line in his hands. He does not use a pole! He said he snagged 3 others that day, but this was the only one he was able to fight to bring in. He held it up for a photo like this because he's seen that in the nearby marina where there is currently a marlin tournament being held. The people competing in the tournament are using half million dollar boats...
