I have not seen this posted anywhere except on a couple Australian boards. Very impressive catch for the "New Moon"

Just epic,that is all.

The Black Marlin record that still holds from 1953 was 1560 lbs. That could fall in Austrailia soon ,only a few more years and that fish could have been it.

I am curious how the measurements for this fish compare to Mr. Glassell's. Rumors have flown around for years that the Cabo Blanco scales may have been off a little. This latest fish is a beast. Congrats to the crew of the New Moon on a fish of a lifetime.
