Alvin Canyon 7/30-31

My bet for what its worth - 100# plus; spike dorsal and pointed but long pec's; and a burly set of shoulders..

hatchet marlin.

If I can get the SFC system to accept a 160Meg video you can watch it toss Jackson around at boatside, not a wussy little white to be hauled into a cockpit for a photo op - this fish was *wild* and had shoulders and a belly girth also. Much stockier than the rapier build of a 50-60# white.

I'm all eyes for pictures of small blue marlin to compare.

agreed ...that fish had some balls

Larry, like others have said any marlin in the northeast is a good marlin but I found another picture of a whitey that looks very similar to your fish. Take a look, the coloration of the two fish is almost identical. Again, I have never been fortunate enough to see a white or blue marlin in person.

Solid trip Larry. Multiple billfish hookups are what it's all about!
