that was the only one brought in......$493.000.00 and so its known, there were 103 billfish released during this tourney(23 being blue marlin) and only 1 weighed in.....thats a 96% release rate on blues and 100% release on whites and sails.......

good god, now where all the bills are.  They are in the atlantic!  I bet in the gulf we havent had 103 billfish tagged TOTAL in all the touries this year.  That is one stud of a fish!

The hole in the fish's side is where the angler punched through and ripped the Marlin's heart out....he did that instead of using a bat.

I've done that a few times myself. It always brings a much more satisfying feeling.

Thats a pretty big fish by the way

I agree its damn satisfying but at the same time that bat sure is liberating too
