Blue Marlin

ESPECULADO

Makaira nigricans

A 1,000-pound Atlantic pelagic that has broken more rods, reels, and marriages than any other fish.

The Blue Marlin is the grandest of Leonida's offshore pelagics, a deep-blue torpedo that can exceed 1,000 pounds and tow a sportfishing boat backwards when hooked. Tournament captures are measured in hours of struggle rather than minutes.
