    Wow. :eek: Marlins are incredible fish. Glad to hear a lot of fisherman are letting them go these days.

    Sport fishing for marlin has changed in big ways over the past 50 years. In the old days, many anglers brought their catch back to the dock, simply to pose with it for a photo. These days, thankfully, most sporting anglers let their marlin go. Some take it a step further: they invite scientists to study the fish they release through advanced remote satellite technology. The studies are leading to some incredible findings- like this week’s discovery that one marlin caught in Hawaii traveled 2,225 nautical miles in only 94 days!

    If I ever get lucky enough to have the chance to fish for these
    I would hope my skipper would be supportive of catch and release

    fantastic looking fish IMO
