    Estimate Marlin Weight?

    We caught these two Blues in Chub Cay a few weeks ago. They were both about the same size. I was thinking they were around 200 lbs, maybe a little less but I haven't too many beside the boat to be good at estimating the weight. The first two pics are the first fish and the second two pics are the second fish. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the input. We caught them within about an hour and a half of eachother one afternoon so we were excited regardless of size.
