what is the record for a marlin caught
A 1,368-pound blue marlin was caught Tuesday by Guy Kitaoka off Kailua-Kona on the the big island of Hawaii. Itâs believed to be the largest blue marlin caught off Kona in 23 years, and falls short of the world recordâa 1,376-pound blue caught off Kona in 1982âby only eight pounds. Kitaoka was fishing with Capt. Darrell Omori aboard a 21-foot boat, Dayna, in an area where large tuna were teeming.
