Blue Marlin in Mazatlan, Mexico

This Blue Marlin was caught offshore of Mazatlan, Mexico in April of 2010. It was the first Marlin caught in the region for 2010. The captain estimated it at about 14ft @ 450 lbs.

This was a catch and release trip so when this big boy let go of the hook at the end, he was just doing us a favor. The captain had wanted to gaff the fish because it was such a big trophy....maybe it heard him say that, lol.....Still though, would have liked to get a better look at him!
