the 5th largest blue marlin ever caught on rod and reel. It was caught by my friends and Steve "Stymie" Epstein. This fish was caught on a live bait after they witnessed this great fish chasing a 100 # tuna under the boat. The big fish went down and died and had to be planned up. The 130 # Amilan was up to the task, the angler was not and she was not caught to igfa rules so no record. Either way, a catch of a lifetime. We have an actual replica of this fish in the Melton Tackle Anaheim store #1400
