White Marlin fishing
About White Marlin
A slender, elegant billfish of warm Atlantic waters, known for finicky takes and dazzling aerial displays once hooked. It is targeted by trolling small ballyhoo, dink rigs and lures, often with a drop-back on the bite and circle hooks for clean releases. Lighter and more agile than its blue cousin, it rewards finesse, a delicate drag and quick reflexes on the take.
Typical size: Typically 20 to 40 kg; trophy fish over 60 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 80 kg (varies by region).
