Massachusetts joins the 1000 pound marlin club

Friends,

There are now seven states that can claim to be portage to a sports fishing vessel that brought in a thousand pound marlin. This week a charter out of Falmouth, MA fished the Atlantis Canyon, about a hundred miles off Cape Cod, and caught a 1260 pound blue marlin.

For the longest time only Louisiana and Hawaii were members of the grander club, but the last 26 years have been good for trophy marlin in America. I have never let a marlin come to gaff, and my largest from the Gulf was estimated to be 650. Anyway, Massachusetts went from a token two month white marlin territory to the talk of billfishing captains around the world. Interesting times.

Yours,
TulaneLSU
