Too big to weigh with one scale, calculation used…
Large Blue Marlin Caught in Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico — The Pisces Group Cabo & Pisces Sportfishing are exclusively reporting that a 1,213 pound Blue Marlin was caught over a grueling duration of 28 hours beginning on Saturday, September 24th and ultimately reeling in the giant marlin to the boat on Sunday, September 25th. The record is unofficial due to the change of anglers during the evening hours but all the same, this is one of the most massive marlin catches and possibly the biggest-ever recorded in Los Cabos, Mexico.
“That was the hardest thing I ever did in my life by far. I’ve shot bull moose and trekked out with 200 lbs on my back and it doesn’t even compare. It was the greatest experience of my life. I travel all around the world, Africa, Asia and nothing comes close to this”. Angler Richard Biehl, Traverse City, MI
It is important to point out that the Blue Marlin was so large and heavy, an electronic scale had to be borrowed from canadian online pharmacy another boat, which recorded 972 pounds. Yet, the team of people could not get it completely raised from the floor from bill to tail. Due to the weight, measurements were taken resulting in a recorded length of 137 inches (11 feet, 4 inches) without the bill and a girth of 75 inches (6 feet, 3 inches). Based on the commonly used formula, this gigantic Blue Marlin weighed in at an astonishing 1,213 pounds!
On the morning of September 24th, angler Richard Biehl from Traverse City, Missouri boarded a 31-foot Blackfin called, “Go Deep.” Captain Luis Abaroa comes from a long line of fisherman and in each generation they have all landed fish over 1,000 pounds. Yet, nothing compares to their enormous Blue Marlin catch over this past weekend.
