The IGFA also states that the biggest recorded Blue Marlin weighed 1,402 pounds (635 kg) and was caught in Vitoria, Brazil in 1992. It weighed in at the not-so-impressive (but still pretty large) 1,560 pounds (707.61 kg). The record for the biggest Marlin of all time goes to the enormous 1,805 lb “Choy’s Monster.” This beast of a fish was caught on a charter fishing boat out of Oahu, Hawaii, in 1970 and still stands today as the biggest Marlin caught on rod and reel.Īs far as the IGFA is concerned, though, the current all-tackle record for Black Marlin was recorded in Cabo Blanco, Peru, in 1953. We at FishingBooker, just like all serious anglers, dream about catching a “grander,” one of those legendary fish that weighs over 1000 lb. It’s little wonder that fishing for Marlin has almost legendary status amongst anglers the world over. They dance, skip, and leap through the air on the end of your line, giving the angler the fight of their life. Once hooked, all species of Marlin display an acrobatic ability worthy of a ballerina – or perhaps it would be more accurate to compare them to a bull fighter. The speed of Black and Blue Marlins also leaves most other fish trailing in their wake. The Striped Marlin is the second fastest fish in the world, swimming at up to 50 miles per hour. Marlin are fast, they’re athletic, and they can be darn huge. Marlin fishing is one of the most exciting challenges facing any angler.
